A glistening San Francisco cast off its summer fog for the first three days of NAINConnect 2008 – Embracing Our Interfaith Future, held July 24-28. When the fog returned on Sunday, old friends and new, and a cacophony of happy conversation kept us from noticing. Fromm Hall, a lifelong learning center at the University of San Francisco, proved an extraordinary work space. For assemblies and an initial banquet, a lovely tent replaced the intended hall that was suffering emergency construction issues.

With less than 5% of the world’s population, the United States produces more than 25% of the global greenhouse gas emissions, and those emissions continue to grow.  One of URI’s North America Cooperation Circles, The Orange County Interfaith Coalition for the Environment (OCICE), believes that US cities can, and should act to reduce green house gas emissions.  The organization is deeply concerned about the effects of Global Warming and what each individual can do to help solve the global climate crisis.
