Caring for All Creation

Across the country, churches and individuals are changing the ways we live and do business to become better stewards of God's creation. We recycle, change light bulbs, drink fair trade coffee, and green our churches, homes and workplaces. We preach and teach that all creation is very good, that "the Earth is the Lord's," and that all life is sacred.

Our witness to the justice Jesus proclaims is inextricably expressed as we care for endangered species, degraded ecosystems and the poverty of humanity. We envision a world where caring for all creation means cleaning up toxic sites in inner-city neighborhoods, providing green jobs, working to prevent childhood asthma and protecting endangered species, creating a sustainable life-nurturing economics, and working urgently to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

The Advocacy Center, in association with the Episcopal Ecological Network and the Eco-Justice Working Group of the National Council of Churches, expresses and seeks to embody the Episcopal Church’s call to educate, act, and advocate for environmental justice and care for all of God’s creation. Join us in spreading the word that together we can change the world.  Let’s jump in, roll up our sleeves and join what Thomas Berry calls the "great work" of our time.  It is joyous work.
