Earth trekCelebrating and sustaining God's creation

 |
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and God saw that the creation was good. It is still good. And we as Christians are called to embrace the goodness of creation and to protect its stability, integrity, and beauty.
Based on the Genesis 1 story of creation, Earth trek uses the seven days of creation as a basis for exploring the aspects of our created world, how it is threatened, what is being done to protect it, and further actions that individuals, households, and congregations can take to live more sustainably on the Earth. Earth trek also explores how ecological concerns and justice relate to Christian faith, delving into the Bible and a broad range of thinkers and writers to discover and celebrate the ecological imperative of our faith tradition.
