Creation Care Upcoming Events

A person is holding a small plant in their hands.

As Christians, we believe all of creation was called into being by the very word of God. The Bible reveals that our Creator calls us to be stewards of creation and to love our neighbors. Inspired by the unsurpassed love God showed us by sending Jesus Christ, God’s only son, to redeem us through his death and resurrection, we respond to God's commands. The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and the All Saints Creation Care Committee is committed to environmental education, advocacy, and action for our neighbors and all of creation.


Here are some great opportunities to get involved!

Welcome to The Rev. Kelley Hudlow - Priest in Charge

July 22, 2025
Hello folks. My name is Kelley Hudlow, and I am glad to join All Saints as your Priest-in-Charge. A priest-in-charge leads a church for a defined period, and I will serve in this capacity until the vestry calls an interim rector. As the priest-in-charge, I will support the work of the staff and lay leadership and will preach and lead worship. I began my work in the office on July 15 and my first Sunday will be August 3. I am serving on a part time basis and will typically be in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays. I am the full time Instructor of Preaching at Bexley Seabury Seminary, which is a low residency Episcopal seminary based in Chicago. I previously served as the Canon for Vocations and Community Engagement for the Diocese of Alabama. I have served churches in transition across Alabama. Before joining the diocese, I practiced law in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. In 2024, I completed a Master of Arts in Theopoetics and Writing, focusing on preaching. I will begin a Doctor of Ministry program in Biblical Interpretation and Proclamation at Candler School of Theology at Emory in August 2025. I love science fiction, art, and all things related to space. I live in the Avondale neighborhood of Birmingham with my spouse, Dr. Shanti Weiland, who teaches English at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. We live with the “Ginger Brothers,” an orange cat named Julien and a corgi named Brother Juniper. I look forward to getting to know y’all in the coming weeks. God’s peace, Kelley+ The Rev. Kelley Hudlow khudlow@allsaintsbhm.org Office: 205-922-6014

Sept. 14: Explore the Roberson Project

July 22, 2025
An Afternoon with Dr. Woody Register: Exploring the Roberson Project History isn’t just in the past, it shapes who we are and who we choose to become. On Sunday, September 14, 2025, from 4:00–5:00pm, Dr. Woody Register will lead a conversation about how one university is confronting its own history to build a more honest future. Light refreshments will be served. Dr. Register is the Francis S. Houghteling Professor of American History at the University of the South and founding director of the Roberson Project, a teaching-focused initiative launched in 2017 to examine Sewanee’s historical ties to slavery. Through deep research, public engagement, and innovative teaching, the project is reshaping how institutions reckon with the past. At the heart of the Roberson Project are four guiding commitments: Truth-Telling: Uncovering and telling the full story of Sewanee’s origins in a society rooted in slavery. Community: Working alongside descendants of the enslaved and the town’s Black community to recognize their vital place in Sewanee’s history. Innovation: Creating new ways to teach, research, and engage with the legacy of slavery. Leadership: Establishing Sewanee as a leader among universities confronting their historical ties to slavery.
