B.8. Embracing the Call


Many churches are embracing the call to be better caretakers of God’s creation.

Through worship and education, dialogue and action, the seeds for renewal are being planted.

We must never forget that living in right relationship with creation does not come from a technology.

Values that are central to a sustainable future – like simplicity, sharing, generosity, community – are nurtured through a lively and vibrant spirituality.

As these values are nurtured, we seek and implement creative ways to be the church – to embody the good news for all of creation.



Installing solar panels at church meetinghouses are a tangible way to witness to our faith value of caring for creation.

Not only do they send a positive message to the members of the church, they are also a visible witness to the local community.

This is an opportunity for the church to take genuine leadership in a society that knows changes are needed, but is struggling to know where to start.
