AT THE HEART OF JUSTICE

Climate Justice - Faithfully Responding

We are called to live with respect in creation—not respect "for" creation, as a separate entity—but respect "in" the creation that is all around and within us. As temperatures rise and weather becomes more destructive, as vulnerable regions become more vulnerable, and the call to live into reconciliation rings out, how can we faithfully respond?
