Greetings …

As we move into the second week of Season of Creaton, let’s hear the thoughts of some more of the world’s Christian leaders as together they invite us into sharing this season …

‘I urge all Christians everywhere to take practical steps by taking care of the environment, conserving natural resources and promoting sustainability to protect the Earth.  I call on all Christians to join working with a renewed hope, as Creation eagerly awaits for the revealing of the children of God.’

(Seth Appiah-Kubi, National Director, A Rocha Ghana)

‘We should not disappoint the Creator by spoiling the creation, with which God entrusted us from the dawn of the times and keeps protecting us from ourselves.  We have to say STOP somewhere to the damage we are inflicting on purpose to the creation, blinded by our greed and lust for profit.  We, who are aware of the gravity of the issue, should raise our voice in a relentless attempt to spread this awareness and make it become a part of the daily culture and pattern of behaviour of individuals as well as business enterprises.  A paradigm shift is of utmost necessity.’

(Prof Michael Abs, Secretary General, the Middle East Council of Churches)

It is one thing to hear the call to get involved, but it takes another level of action to actually do something practical.  I wonder what ways this call might encourage you to continue to care for Creation, and what new opportunities might arise?  Remember that each little action makes a difference.
