Caring for creation is a key Christian task

Both the Bible and the Christian tradition have some vital and profound things to say about caring for the environment, which the church understands as God's creation.

Approaching environmental issues through a Christian lens offers valuable ethical and spiritual insights for people committed to caring for the environment, both within and outside the church.

The Christian approach is also an approach filled with hope.

So often, environmental issues are dealt with agains a background of fear and threat.  We should stop doing 'x' because otherwise environmental problem 'y' will happen.  As Christians, the starting point for caring for the Earth is a response to a loving, creating God. 

Caring for creation is a key Christian task.
