SUMMARY:Faith Climate Action Week
DESCRIPTION:(Previously known as the Preach-In on Global Warming) \nFaith Climate Action Week will be ten days in April during Earth Month and will focus on how we can take action to protect our climate. This year\, we will find joy and rejuvenation in the natural world and reconnect to why we love and protect our planet. \nGo to the event website for Worship Resources\, How To Participate\, and much more! \n\nCaring for Creation \nThe Caring for Creation: Vision\, Hope and Justice social statement explains the ELCA’s teachings on ecology and the environment\, grounded in a biblical vision of God’s intention for the healing and wholeness of creation. This statement provides a Christian understanding of the human role to serve in creation\, and a hope rooted in God’s faithfulness to the creation from which humans emerge and depend upon for sustaining life. It provides a framework for understanding the human role in creation\, the problem of sin and the current environmental crisis. \nCaring for Creation expresses a call to pursue justice for creation through active participation\, solidarity\, sufficiency and sustainability\, and states the commitments of the ELCA for pursuing wholeness for creation — commitments expressed through individual and community action\, worship\, learning\, moral deliberation and advocacy. \nYou can read or download the full social statement Caring for Creation: Vision\, Hope and Justice in English or en español. This statement was adopted in 1993 by the ELCA Churchwide Assembly.

Each letter was written by a different scholar of sacred scripture\, and each is more inspirational than the next. The letters are powerful statements about what we\, people of many faiths\, cultures and ethnicities believe about the values of our country and the dreams we have for ourselves\, our families and our communities. Here is the link to the project which also has information about the new book.
