SUMMARY:Spiritual Dimensions of the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk on the spiritual dimensions of the climate 
 crisis with the Rev. Dr. Andi Lloyd. Attend in person in the Mayer Room or 
 register here to receive a Zoom invitation. This talk is co-sponsored by 
 the Hanover Conservation Commission and the Howe Library.\n\nIn this talk\, 
 the Rev. Dr. Andi Lloyd\, a former professor of biology at Middlebury 
 College and currently the co-pastor at the Church of Christ at Dartmouth 
 College\, will explore the spiritual dimensions of the climate crisis.  
 Understanding and responding to climate change is a scientific challenge\, 
 a technological challenge\, a political and economic challenge — and it 
 is also a spiritual challenge\, one that demands a transformation in how we 
 understand ourselves\, as humans\, to be in relationship with one another 
 and with the non-human world. Rev. Dr. Lloyd will explore how eco-spiritual 
 and eco-theological perspectives can help to illuminate a path forward in a 
 climate-changed world.\n\nRev. Dr. Andi Lloyd is an ecologist and an 
 ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. She received her B.A. 
 degree in Geography from Dartmouth College in 1989\, an M.S. in Biology & 
 Wildlife from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1992\, and a PhD in 
 ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Arizona in 1996. 
 From 1996 to 2020\, she was on the faculty of Middlebury College\, where 
 she taught classes on plant ecology\, ecology and evolution\, and climate 
 change. While at Middlebury\, she conducted research on the effects of 
 climate change on forests in Alaska and Siberia. From 2012 to 2019\, Andi 
 also served as the Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Academic 
 Affairs at Middlebury. Andi left academia in 2020 to pursue pastoral 
 ministry. In 2022\, she received her M.Div. degree from Yale Divinity 
 School\, after which she was ordained in the United Church of Christ. From 
 2022 to 2025\, she served as pastor of the Trinitarian Congregational 
 Parish of Castine\, Maine. In October 2025\, she joined the staff of the 
 Church of Christ at Dartmouth College as co-pastor. Andi is the 
 author/co-author of more than 30 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters 
 on forests and climate change. Along with Rev. Dr. Andy Nagy-Benson\, she 
 is the author of Letters to the Ecotone: Ecology\, Theology\, and Climate 
 Change (Resource Publications\, 2022).\n\nJoin Meeting:
