The BTS Center, the successor to the Bangor Theological Seminary, is seeking nine teams of four from Christian congregations around the region to participate in a weekend retreat in Acadia National Park in late June on Claiming Your Call for a Climate-Changed World. “Responding to climate crisis is not just the work of scientists, policymakers, and advocates.
