5/6/10–The Most Reverend William Skylstad, Bishop of Spokane and Chairman of the Catholic Climate Covenant initiative, offered an inspirational speech to students and faculty at Gonzaga University.  In his talk, “Facing the Wind-What are the Signs?,” he reflects on human stewardship of God’s Creation and weaves together his personal stories with messages from the U.S. bishops and recent popes, including Pope Benedict who, “Challenges us to become more aware of our carbon footprint and who is under it.”  Sophomore Amanda Hernandez said, “The lecture made me think about how all of us are on this planet together.” Read his entire speech on the Coalition website.  See the full article from Gonzaga University.
