SUMMARY:The Prophetic Voices of Franciscan Women (Online; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:The Joint Committee on Franciscan Unity is offering a free online lecture on August 15 at 4pm EST on the prophetic witness of two remarkable Franciscan women: Angela of Foligno and Ursula de Jesús. The Rev. Dr. Joy Schroeder will lead the session. \n\n\n\nAngela of Foligno\, a 13th century Third Order Franciscan\, wrote about care for the poor and God’s presence in creation. Ursula de Jesús\, a 17th century Afro‑Peruvian religious sister in a Poor Clare monastery\, received visions that confronted racism in her community and affirmed God’s love for people of all races. \n\n\n\nTheir stories offer a timeless call to justice and compassion and speak powerfully to the concerns of today’s Christians. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is free and open to all.  \n\n\n\nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:Chasing Time (Online; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:Join S. Cheryl Kemner and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday\, September 8\, 2026\, from 6:30 to 8 pm Central via Zoom\, for a free screening and discussion of the film “Chasing Time”.  \n\n\n\nThis 2024 documentary offers a reflective examination of time and mortality as it follows nature photographer James Balog and his team during the final phase of a multi-decade project that has produced more than one million images. \n\n\n\nAfter bringing some of the first and most striking visual evidence of our changing planet to the fore through the groundbreaking study of melting glaciers\, James Balog returns to Iceland to close the last chapter of his life’s work\, the Extreme Ice Survey. This project was launched in 2006 to record the effects of global warming using dozens of time-lapse cameras placed at glacier sites around the world. It has documented significant ice loss and glacier collapse. The documentary also highlights Balog’s ongoing research into the connections between melting ice\, wildfires\, and atmospheric change\, while reflecting on the personal meaning of his decades long work. \n\n\n\nThe documentary reunites Balog with the Emmy Award-winning team behind Chasing Ice and is directed by the first-time filmmaker Sarah Keo and Jeff Orlowski. It was shortlisted for the Best Documentary Short Film at the 98th Academy Awards. \n\n\n\nClick here to register.
