Upcoming Events

Hope for Creation Conference

April 22-23, 2023

Street Fair Style Presentation: April 22, 1:30-4:30 p.m

The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist 127 E. 12th Ave, Spokane, WA

Hosted by St. John’s Cathedral, in partnership with the Whitworth Office of Church Engagement and Fig Tree, the Hope for Creation Conference is designed to share a vision of hope for creation; spotlight local caretakers of land, water and air; and renew Spokane’s leadership on environmental care.

Expo ’74 was the first world’s fair dedicated to the environment. It brought the topic of creation care to the world stage and helped shape the consciousness of the Spokane community. As we near the 50th anniversary of Expo ’74, now is the time to look back at where we’ve been, consider carefully what is being done, and develop a road map for the future. Spokane was a leader in creation care then, and that leadership should continue.

All are welcome at this event – civic leaders, nonprofit organizations, faith communities, business people and engaged citizens. All points of view are needed, and the dignity of each person will be respected.

Attendance at all sessions is free of charge. No registration is required.
