Clergy and college professors will lead a discussion series, "God's Earth Our Home," in Brockport each Thursday in October (4th, 11th, 18th, 25th) at the First Baptist Church, 124 Main Street. The sessions will start at 7 p.m. The First Presbyterian Church, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and Newman Oratory also are uniting in the project to consider religious and scientific perspectives on the current environmental crisis.

Ministers from the participating churches will be resource people, respectively: Rev. Kenneth McCarthy, Rev. James Long, Rev. David Robinson, and Ms. Margot Van Etten, campus minister. Participating professors from SUNY College at Brockport are: Dr. Chris Norment, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Biological Sciences Department, specializing in ornithology; and Dr. Delmont Smith, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Biological Sciences department, specializing in physiology.

The first session, October 4, will start with a 27-minute video, "Keeping the Earth: Religious and scientific perspectives on the environment," by the Union of Concerned Scientists. The discussion topic will be "The Bible and the Earth." Study packets will be available in advance of each session at the church offices. The study material and discussions are free and open to the public.
