In the Company of Stewards meetings hearken back to how a company of pioneers would circle their wagons for the night and gather together for uplifting and constructive conversation. These virtual meetings provide Latter-day Saint earth stewards across the world with community, knowledge, and inspiration to support them on their journey of caring for Creation.
These meetings are held on Zoom, facilitated by a host, and recorded for publication on the Latter-day Saint Earth Stewardship YouTube channel.
Join us each month on the 3rd Tuesday at 7:00 pm Mountain time. Registration is open for upcoming sessions, please register here.

Genealogy, Evolution, and the Tree of LifeJared Meek discusses how genealogy, or the study of family lineages, is an important practice in the LDS faith. Through family history work, individuals feel connected to their ancestors and ultimately to the larger family of God. Phylogenetics is a branch of the biological sciences that studies the evolutionary relationships among different species. Conceptually, genealogical family trees and phylogenetic trees share many similarities since they both map out ancestor-descendant relationships.

The Simple Complexities of the CreationPhil Brueck will use his experience of growing up in a National Park and managing other parks during his career to talk about his perspective of the creation of the earth through stories and photos. Some of the stories will just be fun tidbits from his life in Zion while others will demonstrate his understanding of how the earth was created and why our earth should brings us joy, understanding, and a eternal desire to be good stewards. Of course since he is tied closely to, and has a personal awe for our National Parks, you will also learn about why we have parks and how they help us fulfill our responsibility to use and manage this earth properly. |
