Our Care of Creation

We believe that our mission includes caring for God's earth and for all creation. It includes sharing in putting right the relationships within God's creation that have gone wrong, and growing towards justice and stewardship envisaged in the Biblical vision of the world as it is meant to be. Human activity has contributed to the degradation of the earth in its land, seas and atmosphere. We believe that this degradation limits the attainment of the fullness of life that God wills for all creation, and is a sin for which we should seek forgiveness. It also imposes most heavily upon the peoples of the developing countries of the world and is part of the intrinsic injustice to which we bear witness.

In fulfilling our commitment to Our Core Values, we desire to care for the earth by following sustainable practice and by taking into account global and local environmental considerations for present and future generations.
