Expressing the Mind of the House of Bishops on Climate and Our Vocation in Christ
Passed by the House of Bishops during the 80th General Convention of The Episcopal Church 07/11/22
God is the source of all creation, and we, humankind – made in God’s image – have been given the gift of life and responsibility to care for creation. We depend on God’s creation to sustain our life together, and, by serving as good stewards of creation, we reflect God’s tender love for all that has been made. In caring for our earth, we return our love to God. This is our first vocation, made explicit in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible: together with God, together with one another, we care for God’s world.
