Today, we understand more deeply than ever before, the profound consequences of our failure to serve as caretakers of God’s creation. Ecological crises and extreme poverty are a reflection of our inability to share the abundance God has entrusted to our care. Ever-expanding scientific knowledge helps us better understand and informs our response to challenges ranging from the health impacts of environmental toxins to the threats posed by climate change.
United Methodists are called to a ministry of reconciliation between God, humankind
As we think about how to bring abundant life to lives and communities, where do we begin? Gardening enables churches to redesign the environment and our response to God's creation.
The United Methodist Social Principles say, “All creation is the Lord’s, and we are responsible for the ways in which we use and abuse it." How can your congregation live out this principle?
