A.1. MCCO's Role

MCCO [Mennonite Central Committee - Ontario] has been promoting solar energy as one means of caring for God’s creation for three years.

During this time, many similar questions and themes have become clear in determining what resources are needed.

MCCO has instituted a Creation Care program.

The focus of this program is "bringing light to communities that care for creation".

Congregations all across Ontario are showing they care for God's creation.

Through spiritual renewal, energy conservation, and solar energy the church is responding to the reality of climate change and seeking to stand in solidarity with the people most vulnerable to changes in climate.

For in Christ all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. Colossians 1:19-20.
