Care for Creation

There is an abundance of material available on the web to assist churches in developing their ministries of creation care.  Some of these are produced by denominational or interdenominational Christian organizations.  Others are produced by interfaith groups.  These sites contain, among other things, materials that may be useful for worship or Christian education programs.

Other sites are sponsored by secular organizations and provide a wealth of useful information.

The National Council of Churches, in collaboration with Chesapeake Covenant Congregations, has produced a toolkit for churches, Stewards of the Bay, containing ideas for worship, Christian Education and practical ways to care for creation.  The toolkit focuses on water and the Chesapeake Bay, but has many good ideas that are applicable anywhere.  The toolkit can be downloaded from the NCC Ecojustice website.

There are many excellent books available on topics related to earth care, faith and their interactions.  The Creation Care Group has prepared a series of reviews of some of their favorites.
