Imagine that…
Congregants see themselves as guests on land that belongs to God and to future generations. Local soils, plants and animals are familiar to members and they understand how to be careful stewards in this setting. Awe and gratitude are common responses. People are aware of the environmental problems unique in their region and live accordingly and work to improve local management of land, water and air.
Look here for resources on native plantings, on church grounds and on living well in particular ecosystems.
