Archbishop - care for environment teaches us about God

A great message that is a true eye opener and should be seen by everyone. Glory be to God.

I think this was a brilliant comparison, waste and "emotional short-termism." In order to have anything long lasting in life we have to include God, our Heavenly Father. We are merely finite, imperfect, and proud creatures. As a result of our finite nature we can easily corrupt love. Love is eternal, and therefore we need to incorporate God into our loving relationships. Without a doubt this could remedy the vast amounts of seperation and divorce of couples. God bless you Archbishop.

Great beard. I love this guy, he speaks the truth.

Why won't Rowan address the real issues, homasexuality, abbortion, sin E.T.C .
No side track everyone from the real issues.
Jesus said in Matt 24 v 22 unless He steps in all flesh will be destroyed, we are to be good stewarts of Gods creation, oh yes Rowan dose'nt believe in creation. Only Jesus will bring true peace and restore the earth , when He comes to reign on the earth.

perhaps we need to read the whole story as the whole story, the 'canonical' story...including these troubling episodes, but also the promise of God's mercy, love, forgiveness, and compassion for all of God's creation ...

paco, you are correct. But this problem cannot be effectively addressed by individuals. Let me restate that: there will not be enough individuals responding to make an effective difference. It is systemic and deep seated and requires restructuring at high levels. Our job is to urge our leaders to take the necessary steps and support them when they do so.

I encourage you to poke around the tubes a little on the subject of Christian environmentalism. It's definitely out there. I hope you like what you find, although we can both recognize that more from Christians, just like more from the population as a whole, is needed.

At any rate, since Protestant churches tend to lack a pope-like figure, it is to be expected that church responses to the environmental damage that is around us will be heterogeneous and less organized than what you seem to desire.

The thing is, whether environmental damage is a serious problem is not a theological issue, but a scientific one. Theology only teaches that IF it's a serious problem, then something should be done. While at this point the science is pretty clearly in that it's a serious problem, that fact has failed to convince all people as certain political groups have an agenda to promote business over environment and thus deceive large groups of people.

What you are referring to is known as environmental stewardship. Stewardship is the idea that we possess, care for, and use in accordance with the will of God what God has given us. Obviously, environmental stewardship applies this concept to the environment.
