The World We're Working Towards
Theory of Change
HOW DO WE CREATE CHANGE?
The environmental crisis is a spiritual crisis, rooted in disconnection from one another, our traditions, and the Earth. When Green Teams are supported in repairing these relationships, they grow networks of care and action that lead to more just and resilient communities.
Our Vision
WHAT WORLD DO WE WANT TO SEE? A WORLD WHERE...
Spiritual communities leading the way in healing our relationships with each other and the Earth to build just, resilient, thriving communities.
Our Mission
HOW ARE WE ACHIEVING THAT VISION? WE ARE ACHIEVING THAT MISSION BY...
Cultivating a powerful multifaith movement working for environmental justice through connection, education, and advocacy.
Who We Work With
Faith in Place partners with communities of faith from diverse religious traditions across Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, as well as people who identify as spiritual or motivated by justice but don't identify with a specific faith tradition. Our Green Teams are the heart of our organization.
Our partners and Green Teams (groups of three or more people from a spiritual community or area who join to create healthier communities by advancing environmental and racial justice) represent diverse traditions, including Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant Christian churches; Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist denomination Jewish synagogues; Muslim mosques; and Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Ancestral & Tribal Traditions, and Baha’i houses of worship.
