Dr. Amy Acton, former director of the Ohio Department of Health, will preach on the environment at First Congregational Church in Downtown Columbus.
, said preaching at the church, led by the Rev. Tim Ahrens, is an opportunity for her to indulge in deep thought.“Spirituality is a big part of my life,” said Acton, who is Jewish. “I’ve always been curious how people live a life well-lived and what these larger cultural experiences are.”
On Sunday, at services at 9 and 11 a.m., Acton will preach a sermon titled “One Hope” as part of a six-week preaching series at the church called “God’s Good Earth,” Ahrens said. The church, at 444 E. Broad St., is encouraging masks, and everyone is welcome.Ahrens hopes people learn from Acton how they can have a part in caring for creation.But, Acton's work on the local level can help people break it down, he said.
The topic of climate change on an international scope can be overwhelming, she said, but the city has the resources to do something big now that can make a difference as it grows. “You ask people to do whatever they can do. ... It's often the little things we all do," Acton said."In this case each of us has to look around our world."Dr. Amy Acton
