The
earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
the world, and those who live in it;
for he has founded it on the seas,
and established it on the rivers.
Psalm 24:1-2

Read
an Open Letter from the National Council of Churches USA:
In
an effort to refute what they call a “false gospel” and to change
destructive attitudes and actions concerning the environment, a group of
theologians, convened by the National Council of Churches USA, released an
open letter Feb. 14 calling on Christians to reject teachings that suggest
humans are “called” to exploit the Earth without care for how our
behavior impacts the rest of God’s creation. The statement,
“God’s
Earth is Sacred: An Open Letter to Church and Society in the United States,”
points out that there is both an environmental and a theological crisis
that must be addressed.
