Nationally recognized environmentalist David Orr will challenge listeners and churches locally on Tuesday with a speech titled “Do we have a religious, moral and patriotic responsibility to protect our environment?”
The 7 p.m. presentation is part of a speaking series hosted by Pilgrim Congregational Church in Chattanooga.
The church is at Glenwood and Third streets adjacent to Notre Dame High School.
Orr is the author of many books and publications, including “Earth in Mind,” for which he won the Lyndhurst Prize in 1992.
He also is the Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics at Oberlin College, as well as a James Marsh Professor at the University of Vermont.
