New film explores Orthodoxy and climate change

A documentary set to release later this year will explore God and nature, faith and climate change, and the experience of Orthodox communities around the world.

The Face of God: The Orthodox Church on Climate Change, produced by The Orthodox Fellowship of the Transfiguration, and written and directed by Fr. Kaleeg Hainsworth, will be released worldwide September 1, 2019. The documentary will showcase Orthodox clergy—including St. Vladimir’s Seminary President Fr. Chad Hatfield and Alumnus Fr. Michael Oleksa—scientists, politicians, lay leaders, theologians, and communities around the world in an attempt to gather the witness of the whole Church on a defining issue of our time.

“This is a unique project in modern Orthodox history, and our times need just such a bold venture,” the Fellowship said in its press release announcing the project. “We are making this film with love, prayer, personal sacrifice, and with integrity.”

The group also plans to launch an educational campaign to coincide with the release of the film.
