Supporting the territory to care for creation and tread softly on our common home.
Caring for creation helps us as a Movement to love God and love others. It is one of our five mission priorities – how we care for creation connects with and impacts the other four: how we share the good news, serve others without discrimination, nurture disciples and seek justice and reconciliation.
