Social Action & Advocacy - 4/17/2025

Green Home Symposium

April 26 | 10am – 3pm | St. Luke’s North Indy campus

Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Gabriel Filippelli, Executive Director, IU Environmental Resilience Institute, a presentation on home electrification by Rick Newsome, St. Luke’s Creation Care Ministry, and a lively panel discussion with local environmental experts, this event promises to shed light on practical actions you can take to reduce the carbon emissions that result from everyday activities at our homes, live more in tune with nature, and, in many cases, save money over the long run. Following the main session and panel discussion, you can visit exhibits where you can learn more from local experts, make commitments for climate action, and even pick up a tree seedling to plant at home!

This event is family-friendly. Childcare for 5 and under is available with registration.
