"Our ultimate purpose is to honor God as Creator in such a way that Christian environmental stewardship is part and parcel of everything we do. Our goal is to make tending the garden of creation, in all its aspects, an unquestioned and all pervasive part of our service to each other, to our community, to God's world."
-Calvin B. DeWitt, Reading the Bible Through a Green Lens
This wonderful quote comes from the Episcopal Public Policy Network, in a Policy Alert that I received today. I recommend their email newsletters. Anyway, the quote from Mr. DeWitt states perfectly what the Creation Care ministry is trying to do at St. Thomas. Tending the garden of Creation should be part of the foundation of everything we do at church, woven into the fabric of the faith mission of St. Thomas. And, from there, it should become part of what we do in our broader lives.
