About Caring for Creation

Caring for Creation is the educational and outreach program of the Arizona Ecumenical Council's Earth Care Commission.  The commission's mission states: As delegates of our respective Christian Communions, and, believing that we are called by God to heal, defend, and care for the earth, we pledge ourselves, as stakeholders in the quest for ecojustice, to

• GATHER AND DISSEMINATE information regarding ecojustice and environmental committees and agencies of all Christian churches and denominations;

• EDUCATE our respective communions and the community-at-large concerning the gravity of environmental issues and the promise of spiritual, sociological and technological solutions to those problems;

• PRAY for the Earth and all her creatures;

• ACT as a catalyst for change through the processes of the Arizona Ecumenical Council; and

• PROVIDE opportunities for our members to experience Christian unity through caring for creation.
