National Religious Partnership for the Environment

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Caring for God's Creation is an inherent part of religious life. From mountaintops to forests, green pastures to still waters, stars in the sky to lilies of the field, we experience the gift of Creation. With God's Earth experiencing environmental problems, many religious Americans are seeking to respond through their faith.

The National Religious Partnership for the Environment brings together a diverse alliance of faith institutions and leaders in order to bring voice and action on behalf of caring for God's Creation. Through NRPE's four partners we bring together 160,000 congregations in the U.S. to protect God's creation through worship, education, stewardship and public witness.
Mission Statement
Guided by biblical teaching, the Partnership seeks to encourage people of faith to weave values and programs of care for God's creation throughout the
entire fabric of religious life:
• Liturgy, worship and prayer;
• Theological study, the education of future clergy, and of the young;
• The stewardship of our homes, lands and resources;
• Protecting the lives of our communities and health of our children;
• Our social ministry to the poor and vulnerable who have first and preferential claim on our conscience; and
• Bringing the perspectives of moral values and social justice before public policymakers.
