Olivier Clement writes, “This age needs people like trees, filled with a silent peace, rooted at the same time in solid ground and in the open sky.” As we work together for social and environmental justice, how do we remain grounded in a peaceful spirit?

Cited by Bill McKibben as “one of the key figures in the religious environmental surge,” Rev. Fred Small is Minister for Climate Justice at Arlington Street Church, Boston. A Unitarian Universalist parish minister for nearly two decades, Fred is also a singer-songwriter and environmental lawyer. In 2015 he left parish ministry to devote his energies to organizing for environmental, racial, and social justice.
