BP Oil Spill: Six Months Later

Today is the six month anniversary of the Gulf oil catastrophe.  While many in the mainstream media have moved on, faith communities across the country are committed to making sure we do not abandon our neighbors still suffering from the environmental, economic and social impacts of the spill.

As part of this commitment, faith communities have launched AftertheSpill.com, a hub for news and advocacy, worship and educational resources for faith communities dedicated to sustainable restoration of the Gulf Coast.

Visit AftertheSpill.com to find out more about what communities of faith are doing to support communities in the Gulf and find out how your church family can get involved.
