Andi Lloyd & Andrew Nagy-Benson: Letters from the Ecotone

  • Castine Historical Society 17 School Street Castine, Maine 04421 USA (map)

During the pandemic, two friends, one a pastor, the other a pastor and a scientist, began a correspondence about the ever-pressing realities of climate change. Each drew from their knowledge of ecology and Christian theology, and the resulting book, Letters from the Ecotone, charts their conversation in letters.

Andrew Nagy-Benson is the senior pastor of The Congregational Church of Middlebury (United Church of Christ) and an affiliate chaplain at Middlebury College. Andi Lloyd is the pastor of the Trinitarian Congregational Parish of Castine (United Church of Christ) and a former professor of biology at Middlebury College. She lives in Castine, Maine.

Following the reading, attendees are invited to join Andrew and Andi at The Pentagoet Inn for a shared meal and further discussion of these many topics and views on the existential threat that is climate change.
