We are delighted to invite you to an OPUS (Older People Up To Something) virtual event. One of our former canons at the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine, Rev. Canon Jeffery Golliher, PhD has agreed to speak with us about “Climate Change & Sacred Ecology.” It will be a real treat to learn more about this very timely topic from someone whose life, teachings and writings in this area have been his focus for years.

Many of us will remember Father Golliher from his time at the Cathedral when he was Canon for Environmental Justice and Community Development. At the present time, he lives in Upstate New York where he resides with his wife, Asha. In the Diocese of New York, he is Episcopal Missioner for Sullivan County and the Rondout, and also serves part-time at St. John’s Memorial Episcopal Church in Ellenville. In addition, with the Franciscans, he is Assisting Minister Provincial for Sacred Ecology, Society of Saint Francis, Province of the Americas, Third Order.
