"Guarding Water Resources from the Impact of Climate Change” Speaker: Dr. Heejun Chang

Date

As part of our Social Justice Focus on the “Climate Crisis,” Dr. Heejun Chang will talk about the combined impacts of climate change and urbanization on water resources, focusing on runoff, floods, and water quality. Drawing from case studies in the Pacific Northwest, he will show who is disproportionately exposed to climate-related hazards and explore how land-based management (including nature-based solutions) could potentially reduce the negative impacts of climate change on water resources. 


Dr. Heejun Chang is a Professor of Geography and Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Portland State University. He obtained a PhD in Geography from Penn State in 2001. Chang oversees college-wide research initiatives and collaborations and graduate programs. Working with diverse community partners, he has led transdisciplinary water research from a coupled natural and human system lens across the Pacific in studying future climate change impacts on water quantity and quality, flood and drought hazards, and water-related ecosystem services. Professor Chang has published over 170 peer-reviewed manuscripts with over 10,000 citations by Google Scholar. His pioneering engaged research has been recognized by the American Association of Geographers’ E. Willard and Ruby S. Miller Award, AAG Fellow, and the Reuters Hot List of the world's top 1000 climate scientists.

"Something Judges Us, Something Accepts Us” Rev. Bruce Bode

Date

You are perfect the way you are … and you could use a little improvement,” writes Japanese Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki. Rev. Bruce Bode explores our interior sense of being both judged and accepted. This sermon was originally recorded in July 2023 at University Unitarian Church in Seattle, WA and is a second offering this month on our theme of “Transformation.”

Rev. Bruce A. Bode is Minister Emeritus at the Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (QUUF) in Port Townsend, Washington, from which he retired in 2018 as the Senior Minister after serving the congregation for fourteen years (2004-2018). Before coming to Port Townsend, Rev. Bode was the Interim Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, Texas (2002-2004) and the Hope Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma (2001-2002). Prior to that, he served for twenty-two years (1978-2001) as an Associate Minister at the Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a large, independent, religiously liberal congregation.

"5th-Sunday Day of Service” Project Details To be Announced

Date

Each church year there are 4-5 months that have a 5th Sunday. As part of our lay-led ministry, we use these Sundays to offer an alternative to traditional worship. In lieu of holding a service, either in-person or on Zoom, we will be organizing a group service project we can do together instead.


We are still finalizing the details of the project for Sunday, March 31st. Please check back for updated information.

 

There will be NO regular service (either in-person or online) this Sunday.
