DAILY LIVING PRACTICES TO CARE FOR CREATON
During April, May, and June we focus on the importance of earth/soil in our Caring for Creation section. During these weeks may the spirit of Easter helps us undertake little resurrections in the broken parts of ourselves and the world. We commit ourselves to new ways of living that help heal our planet.
Creation Quote for your Meditation
“How we treat the earth and all of creation defines the relationship that each of us has with God….To commit a crime against the natural world is a sin. For humans to cause species to become extinct and to destroy the biological diversity of God’s creation…for humans to degrade the integrity of Earth by causing changes in its climate, by stripping the Earth of its natural forests, or destroying its wetlands…for humans to injure others humans with disease…for humans to contaminate the Earth’s waters, its land, its air, and its life, with poisonous substances, these things are sins.”
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople
