Earth Ministry Winter Gathering, March 15, 1997.
Hazel Wolf has lived in Seattle since 1923 and has witnessed first-hand much of the development of both its land and its local society, a history most of us only read about.
She has also had more than seventy years of active involvement in environmental and social justice issues; among them acting as secretary of the Seattle Audubon Society and founding member of the Community Coalition for Environmental Justice. She has traveled the world, speaking at conferences, representing various citizens groups at symposia, and being an articulate and whimsically humorous spokesperson for more causes than most people know exist. These life experiences have graced her with a wisdom few possess.
The Winter Gathering provided an opportunity to meet this remarkable "elder", to hear her stories of the events, movements, and people who have helped to shape this community for almost a century.
Hazel shared her thoughts on the interconnection of social and environmental justice issues, and how churches might go about enacting their valuing of God's creation.
Hazel was 99 years old when when she appeared at this Gathering.
