Konkol\, \;Dean of Hendricks Chapel\, Syracuse Uni versity. \;This presentation will explore how faith communities can pr omote an “Olive Agenda” that transforms the conflict between “brown agenda s” of economic opportunity and “green agendas” of environmental sustainabi lity. While both the brown and green agendas are essential for the promoti on of life\, the proponents of each seem to be at odds with adherents of t he other. For example\, far too many with a “brown agenda” believe that th e best way to reduce poverty is to reduce environmental controls\, and to the contrary\, those engaged with the “green agenda” too often place the n eeds of the Earth before the livelihoods of the poor and marginalized. An Olive Agenda — one that combines green and brown — provides a profound met aphor that\, according to the late Steve de Gruchy\, “ …holds together tha t which religious and political discourse rends apart: Earth\, land\, clim ate\, labor\, time\, family\, food\, nutrition\, health\, hunger\, poverty \, power and violence.”Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educa tional speaker series for students\, faculty\, and the community.

Brian E. Konkol\, \;Dean of He ndricks Chapel\, Syracuse University. \;This presentation will explore how faith communities can promote an “Olive Agenda” that transforms the c onflict between “brown agendas” of economic opportunity and “green agendas ” of environmental sustainability. While both the brown and green agendas are essential for the promotion of life\, the proponents of each seem to b e at odds with adherents of the other. For example\, far too many with a “ brown agenda” believe that the best way to reduce poverty is to reduce env ironmental controls\, and to the contrary\, those engaged with the “green agenda” too often place the needs of the Earth before the livelihoods of t he poor and marginalized. An Olive Agenda — one that combines green and br own — provides a profound metaphor that\, according to the late Steve de G ruchy\, “ …holds together that which religious and political discourse ren ds apart: Earth\, land\, climate\, labor\, time\, family\, food\, nutritio n\, health\, hunger\, poverty\, power and violence.”
