This issue focuses on the June 2006 National Council of Churches’ Eco-Justice Conference in New Orleans. The conference brings together church activists from across our nation. It offers education, inspiration, and a network of fellow activists. The choice of New Orleans as the host city is central to this year’s conference. Since Hurricane Katrina devastated that region, the city has become the focal point for environmental, social, racial, and economic justice concerns.
