Partnership in Action: Our Fall Print Newsletter

Written by

Dear Friends,

Autumn brings crisp leaves, warm cider, and our Fall 2026 print newsletter! In this edition, we’re celebrating partnership and the ways people of faith and conscience across Massachusetts are coming together to care for Creation and our neighbors.

We start with a story from our Executive Director, Rev. Michael Reed, about two partner groups helping turn a dying tree in Lawrence into seventeen new saplings.

You’ll also find:

  • Insights from 53 congregations in our Summer Survey
  • Reflections from Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist leaders in our new Sustainable Faith series
  • Photos from our Youth Ambassadors in Lawrence
  • Introductions to our two new Executive Committee members
  • Resources for congregations curious about geothermal

You can read the full issue here:

If you’d like future issues mailed to you or your congregation, it only takes a minute to sign up:

Thank you for being part of this work for faith and climate. If we can help your congregation take its next step on climate, simply email us at info@massipl.org. We’re always here to help.

With gratitude,
Your friends at Massachusetts Interfaith Power & Light
