| And Indeed It Is Very Good -- A Pastoral Letter on Faith and Environment: Living in Community with God's Creation |
 |
In April, 2008, the Collegium of the United Church of Christ (the President of the denomination, and the executives of the four ministries of the church) released a pastoral letter calling on the congregations and conferences of the UCC to become more deeply engaged in stewardshop of God's creation. The letter, and a wonderful collection of related resources -- including materials for worship and study -- are available on the UCC website.
"One thing is certain: for the love of the earth and one another, we may not remain indifferent. We are called to face the challenges with a deep sense of urgency and hopeful attention. We are called to invite those who seek, who love, who lament and who act on prophetic and imaginative dreams, to journey with us. Come; let us build greening places and spaces for the holy and one another."

This website will be expanded as an outreach project of the Environment and Energy Task Force of the national United Church of Christ [listing of task force members]. Please check back soon and often to find additional information and resources.
We invite you to contact us if you would like to make suggestions for ways the Task Force can be helpful to congregations and conferences, to share stories about work being done in your church or conference, or if you would like to become involved with the growing environmental empasis in the UCC.
