 Climate change is a spiritually urgent matter to us because God's relationship with creation is one of loving care and concern. As human beings created in the image of God, it is our responsibility to love creation as God does. Stewardship of the earth is not optional. It is essential to our fulfilling God's will for the world. On this Earth Day, we commit to enacting sound environmental policies and practices within the Salvation Army. We repent for our lack of care for the environment and pray for God's will to be done on earth through us as we look after His world. For the love of all creation.
