Mission Statement Stewards - Position Statement

"That They
May All Be
 One"

1) to generate a growing awareness of God’s living earth;
2) to support the movement for the integrity of creation, justice,
    and peace for all beings;
3) to encourage and support individual members, congregations, and the
    larger church and community to integrate sustainable practices
    into our lives as a response to God’s covenant with all creation.

Acknowledge and lighten the daily ecological impact of our lifestyle and
business choices on our world;

Advocate for ecologically informed political action;

Engage in and promote the study of our Biblical and historical heritage
of caring about the environment;

Transform our perception of creation: Earth is neither an object nor
solely a resource for and instrument of human economic development.

Rather, Earth is the very Body of Christ, of which we are all members,
an ongoing source of revelation, and an intrinsically valuable living system;

Create models for an ethical, reverential, and reciprocal relationship
to the natural world.

Generating a network of ecologically conscious resources available to
enhance education, worship, spiritual connection, activism, theological
and ethical reflection and consumer choices.

Building a communication network to facilitate the sharing of ideas
through e-mail up-dates, an interactive website, workshops, retreats,
trainings and worship experiences.
