Peppard of Fordham University; Catholic Ecology author William Patenaude; Kyle Kramer, a Catholic Climate Ambassador and director of lay degree programs at Saint Meinrad Seminary; Cecilia Calvo of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Environmental Justice Program; David Cloutier, associate professor of theology at Mount St. Mary’s University; Christopher Thompson of St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity, MN; Andrew Casad, liturgy director, Archdiocese of Seattle; Michael Baur, director of the Natural Law Colloquium at Fordham University; Marie George, philosophy professor at St. John’s University; and Father Bud Grant of St. Ambrose University.
