Religious Americans have added a moral voice to debates on public policy, highlighting the need for social justice, health, and ecological well-being. In doing so, they bring new life to faith and healing in the world.
As awareness of environmental problems has grown, communities of faith have responded through ideas and action. Denominational declarations have established theological and moral foundations of thought. Scholars have drawn upon scripture and tradition and engaged today’s scientific insights, deepening our understanding of the whole world as God’s creation. In worship and education, through prayer, music, sermons, and study, people have discerned ecological responsibility and skills for sustainable living.
Religious Americans have added a moral voice to debates on public policy; linked projects for social justice, health, and ecological well-being; protected
and restored streams, prairies, and forests; eased creation’s burden through preservation and conservation. In so doing, they bring new life to faith and
healing to the world.
For example, in 2014, a broad spectrum of religious leaders sent President Obama a letter following his State of the Union address urging him to use a moral framework that includes being responsible stewards of God's creation and protecting vulnerable populations in the U.S. and abroad as the President implements his Climate Action Plan.
