Interfaith Power and Light held its second annual national conference at Cathedral College in Washington, DC, on July 16-19. Attendees from the 16 state affiliates across the country gathered to discuss how to mobilize a religious response to global warming while promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation.

Discussion and training focused over four days on information sharing, media work, fundraising, and advocacy.

Interfaith Power and Light representatives traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with Washington, DC, lobbyists for the Presbyterian Church USA, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Episcopal Church, USA, and the Coalition on the Environment in Jewish Life.

After learning how to talk with legislators about issues of faith and the environment, they met with 42 Senators and Congressional Representatives from 12 states to discuss energy policy and global warming.
