Why should Christians be active in supporting the environment?
As Christians, weare called to be stewards of God's Creation, “the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it” (Psalm 24:1).
Taking action for the climate is not only a matter of conserving what we love, but a matter of justice: for communities in parts of the world where the climate emergency is already proving disastrous, and for fellow creatures and nature entrusted to us by God. Jesus called his followers to be salt and light in the world – to influence for good the whole earth we are given. We are called to model this in our own local stewardship, and seek it on behalf of others.
The Diocese has committed to reaching carbon net zero by 2030 with its commitment to champion climate action, the fifth mark of mission, through the adoption and implementation of the diocesan Net Zero Carbon Action Plan.
We can achieve this vital goal by working in partnership in our efforts to bring forward future actions and commitments to achieve climate action as we live out our vision to Make Jesus Known.
We hope our prayers, our Climate Action and Eco Church work, our collaboration with young people and the whole community, reflects our belief that in God:
“All living things are working and living together in harmony and we flourish when nature flourishes and we magnify the Lord together” Bishop Andrew Rumsey
