From Earth Care Congregations First Year Application Materials, PC USA
Peace and justice is God's plan for all creation. The earth and all creation are God's. God calls us to be careful, humble stewards
of this earth, and to protect and restore it for its own sake and for the future use and enjoyment of the human family. As God offers
all people the special gift of peace through Jesus Christ, and through Christ reconciles all to God, we are called to deal justly
with one another and the earth.
- Our worship and discipleship will celebrate God's grace and glory in creation
- Our education will encourage and support each other in keeping and healing the creation
- Our facilities will be managed, maintained, and upgraded to respect and cherish all creation
- Our outreach will encourage community involvement and public policy to protect and restore the earth
