About the Conference


Bethany Land Institute is proud to present the official report of July's Laudato Si' Africa Conference. We are excited to celebrate this historic gathering of 140+ faith leaders, environmental practitioners, scholars, educators, and activists hosted at BLI's campus in Luweero, Uganda. The gathering included a series of generative conversations and experiences dedicated to the history and future of Pope Francis's Encyclical Laudato Si' and the practice of Integral Ecology. BLI extends our deepest gratitude to all of those who contributed their efforts to making this conference such a success, and we are eager to continue to champion BLI's international leadership in Integral Ecology.
