 Our mission is to inspire the diocese to celebrate the beauty, mystery, sacredness, and generosity of God’s creation. We accomplish our goals by educating the members of the diocese about current environmental issues, raising awareness of the urgency and importance of caring for the environment, and emphasizing models of ministry that incorporate protection, preservation, and sustainable use of God’s creation.
The commission has offered courses and workshops on “simplicity as compassion,” climate change, and how congregations can make a difference. Triangle Lake continues to offer opportunities for sustainable building and provide ecological education in its summer camp program.. We are planning a program that provides congregations with resources in the areas of energy efficiency and climate change, clean and accessible water, simplicity, environmental justice, food issues, and environmental health. Liturgical materials will also be available for St. Francis Day, Earth Day, and Rogation Days. Materials are available as library resources, downloadable prayers, and liturgies on the website.
