Moral Injury and the Climate Crisis: Distress and Lamentation
6 week course during Lent, starting 4th March 2026
When faced with the enormity of the environmental crisis, many of us feel our individual efforts are inadequate and may feel guilty about our own contributions the crisis. We may find ourselves feeling betrayed by government and corporate inaction and powerless in the face of this. Our core beliefs are violated. This is moral injury.
During Lent, the St. James’s Earth Justice Team will host a six week peer support series for those who would like a dedicated safe space to learn about moral injury and process their own distress and injury in the face of the environmental crisis. It will be facilitated by the Rev. Joan Ishibashi, who is certified in moral injury support.
We will meet each Wednesday, beginning 4th March through 8th April, at 7:00 pm for one hour on Zoom. This is an opportunity to be in small group mutual support and reflection and will be limited to twelve people.
