Bolivian Quakers & Young Adult Friends’ Work regarding Climate Change (Hybrid)
“Bolivian Quakers & Young Adult Friends’ Work regarding the Climate Change" - a presentation by Emma Condori Mamani of Bolivia Santidad Yearly Meeting.
Description from Emma:
I will talk about how Bolivian Friends, most of them indigenous people, have persevered as a faith community since 1919 in a developing country where the recurring social and political crisis made Bolivians to see God as a hope both at spiritual level and at material level. And I will talk about how young adult Friends in Bolivia have found ways to support Bolivians who have faced severe climate change effects since 2000. Finally, I will talk about the Bolivian Quaker community's continuing growth as a church in spite of the bad situations in Bolivia.
Emma Condori Mamani is a Quaker writer. This summer she is traveling in the ministry under religious concern among meetings in New England. Her talk includes pictures. Currently she is the director of Friends International Bilingual Center. https://www.centrobilingueinternacionalamigos.org
