creation care
Fantastic…a group of committed evangelicals have got together and formed an alliance that will promote issues relating to the environment. At last!! I’ve signed up, why don’t you? If you need convincing, take a look at this alarming post at mine and Deb’s personal blog. And check out some other resources here.

Hi Alan,
Sounds and looks like a good network. I get the impression you think this is the first initiative like that. But other Christian environmental initiatives have been around for a while already. I have been volunteering my time and resources to one called A Rocha (www.arocha.org) for over two years now. They are a good outfit too: their values are a good match to CA’s values. Both in Brussels and Rotterdam we have been partnering with them in Serve The City projects. They have all kinds of initiatives all over the globe, some for real biologists and total nature-freaks; but they also do nature projects in inner cities (Rotterdam, London, Philadelphia), which return nature to the city, where children can volunteer and learn about nature, and pasture is returned to the city as a dwelling place of rest. Really good stuff!
rogier, I don’t think they are the only ones, but because most evangellicals here in the Us just avoind the issue as being a ‘liberal’ one, its good to see some evangelicals get behind the cause.
hope you are well bro
Yeah - this is indeed a GREAT site. Another one I enjoy is - http://deepgreenconversation.org/category/blog/
I agree it is good to see evangelicals getting behind the environmental cause instead of just thinking, “getting converts” and into “the building” is the ONLY cause.
I thought the fact that a group of evangelicals actually got together and formed an alliance about something was a good start… from observation I thought we were supposed to compete, see who could get the most sheep in a paddock without letting the others open the back gate and lead them into theirs…
I reckon the best way to upset the apple cart is to forget trees and start hugging greenies… and thanking them for doing stuff that God followers ought to be doing…
