Sacred Desert, Sacred Duty: Faith Leaders Gather for Climate Justice
Autumn Byars, member of University Lutheran in Tempe and former LAMA Hunger Advocacy Fellow, reflects on joining Creation Justice Ministries’ Witness for Creation press conference and worship at the Desert Botanical Garden.

It was a powerful call to care for creation—and one another—as an act of faith.
