IRI Brazil met with Baptist pastor and writer Davi Lago, a public voice on democracy, religion, ethics and public life, to advance plans for a scientific immersion with evangelical leaders from his direct network of influence. As a result, IRI Brazil and Davi Lago agreed to convene 50 strategic leaders for an immersion planned for August. The discussion also advanced plans for the launch of a new book by Davi Lago on environmental care from a biblical perspective, expected in the second semester. By working with credible evangelical voices who can reach pastors, students and church communities, IRI Brazil is expanding the theological and public leadership needed to make forest protection part of mainstream Christian responsibility.
