Quote by Bill McKibben

“The religious environmental movement is potentially key to dealing with the greatest problem humans have ever faced, and it has never been captured with more breadth and force than in RENEWAL. I hope this movie is screened in church basements and synagogue social halls across the country, and that it moves many more people of faith off the fence and into action.”

An age of missing information.”

“The future's so random, and so mobile, there's no way you're going to get to your vision of what you want your community to be just by chance alone.

That's the only way you can have a part in shaping the future.”
