In A Climate Crisis World, What is the Church For?

Here is a moving personal testimony from an Anglican Bishop who gave up driving his car for Lent to visit churches by bicycle.  Look at your calendar for the next week, and rearrange plans to save at least two automobile trips you would otherwise have made.  Maximize efficiency by shopping on your way home from work or somewhere else you have to go.  Walk or share rides with friends. Consider a local ride-share service such as GoTriangle or use a ZipCar.
   With Your Church


Every year, there are more denominational responses bringing hope to climate and ecological issues.  Young Evangelicals for Climate Action is one such group - see the blog post "The Privilege of Skepticism" by Kyle Meyaad-Schaap. Other initiatives include Lutherans Restoring Creation and Presbyterians for Earth Care. Interfaith Power & Light lists statements by denomination. Consider reading this article by Rev. Gabriel Salguero on Hispanic Evangelicals and climate change.
