We are six days out from the People’s Climate March, and the ark is built and on its flatbed truck on its way to Manhattan.

You probably wonder why the ark became the symbol for GreenFaith, Sojourners, Auburn Theological Seminary (which is building the ark) and other groups spearheading the participation of peoples of faith in the march through New York ahead of a special United Nations climate summit Sept. 23. More than 100,000 people and 1,000 organizations are expected to join, including numerous faith communities.
