CREATION CARE CORNER
Robert Swan (explorer, historian, environmental activist) was quoted as saying “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”
During this month we have had an opportunity to reflect and renew our commitment as Christians to being stewards of earth. We must each take responsibility and can no longer risk leaving it to “someone else.”
If all of us make a few simple changes in our personal lives, support sustainable/green practices, plants, preserves, or donates a tree, collectively; we can create a large impact that will benefit others, the entire ecosystem and ourselves. Our choices should ensure the next generation will have the opportunity to see and enjoy the earth in all the glory God has created it.
Scripture:
Job 12: 7-10
But ask the animals, and they will teach you;
the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you;
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In God’s hand is the life of every living thing
and the breath of every human being.
The Episcopal Church Creation Care
Prayer:
Eternal God,
whose Spirit moved over the face of the deep bringing forth light and life;
by that same Spirit, renew your creation and restore your image in your
people.
Turn us from careless tenants to faithful stewards,
that your threefold blessing of clean air, pure water and rich earth
may be the inheritance of everything that has breath of life
and one generation may proclaim to another the wonder of your works;
through Jesus Christ, your living Word,
in whom the fullness of your glory is revealed.
Amen
