THE BIRTH OF RAICA

The seed of RAICA was planted at a RPCC mobilization training workshop in 2018. The workshop was intended to teach individuals how to lead a group of people in meaningful climate action. At a breakout session on "Faith in Climate," Jackie Ebner, Jim Tappen, Ruth Marchetti, discussed the great potential for green impact if faith-based communities came together.They came up with the idea for an interfaith summit, where members of various congregations in the Rochester area could celebrate their common goal of rejuvenating the planet and learn from one another. The first summit was held in April 2019 with 13 represented faiths and many green service providers.
