• A Mainline Protestant Response

Why should Christians care about the environment? Simply because we learn in Genesis that God has promised to fulfill all of creation, not just humanity, and has made humans the stewards of it. More importantly, God sent Christ into the very midst of creation to be “God with us” and to fulfill the promise to save humankind and nature. God’s redemption makes the creation whole, the place where God’s will is being done on earth as it is in heaven. . . . The needs of the world are apparent. The call is clear. . . . Stewardship of the creation is a matter of faith. (Church of the Brethren, “Creation: Called to Care.”)
