Justice and the Environment

The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it… Psalm 24:1

Our Creator God has made a magnificent, complex, beautiful world, and this world is not unaffected by what we humans do. 

Our consumption, our use of natural resources, our output of waste – all of these things affect the creation that God made and declared good.

Christians who are concerned for social justice shouldn’t consider creation care and justice as separate or unrelated issues. 

Indeed, environmental degradation often first and most affects poor and vulnerable populations. 

Caring for the poor and hungry often requires engaging in environmental stewardship.

At the request of Synod 2008, we are providing some resources here for churches and individuals to learn and do more concerning eco-justice and creation care.
