  Rooted in the South African context, Alan Storey is a Gospel storyteller and facilitator of personal and political change. This presentation will focus on an interpretation of Micah’s summary of faith and how Jesus of Nazareth lived it out. Our discussion will be rooted in lessons learned from the struggle for justice in South Africa and how these may be relevant for the world today.

  Storey’s commitment to the Jesus way of justice and peace-making was tested early in his life when he faced conscription into the apartheid regime’s military. He chose to be a conscientious objector. He was arrested and faced trial with a six-year prison sentence as the likely outcome. Storey’s trial was abandoned midway, and he became the last conscientious objector to be brought to trial in apartheid South Africa. Storey recently retired from serving at the Central Methodist Mission in Cape Town. As a Methodist minister for 33 years who lived off weekly words, he is now exploring silence and solitude … while writing. He recently wrote the 2025 Andrew Murray Desmond Tutu Prize winning, The bell, banners and blasphemy.

  The living earth provides all that is necessary for life to thrive: fresh water, clean air, fertile ground and the vast diversity of species that constitute the great Web of Life. These systems are under acute attack from human civilization based on extractive fossil industries and the combustion of fossil fuel. This talk addresses the moral obligation to preserve the living Earth and to transform our civilization into one based on a regenerative approach to resource use. We strive to live in harmony with Nature.

  Patricia M. DeMarco is a Pittsburgh author with a doctorate in Biology from the University of Pittsburgh. She spent a fifty-year career in energy and the environment. She now writes and lectures in the fields of sustainability, energy and environmental policy, and natural history. Returning to Pittsburgh in 2006, she became Executive Director of the Rachel Carson Homestead Association, then Director of the Rachel Carson Institute at Chatham University, where she now is Senior Scholar and Adjunct Faculty. She was elected Mayor of Forest Hills for a four-year term beginning in January 2026.
