| This year, Earth Day Sunday
2002 resources are on the web in order to save paper resources
and so that people might be able to access them quickly, download
the documents, and incorporate them as desired into congregational
life. (For a hard copy of these resources, call Rebecca Barnes-Davies
at 888-728-7228 ext 5811.)
This year, the PC(USA) Environmental Justice Ministry has decided
to create Presbyterian-specific Earth Day 2002 materials on
endangered species because the 213th General Assembly passed
an overture called "Preserving Biodiversity and Halting Mass
Extinction." Included in this Presbyterian resource are worship
materials, background information, and links for more information
and how to take action. Please feel free to adapt and use any
of these resources as is fitting to your congregation's worship.
We hope your Earth Day Sunday may be a blessed time for all
of God's creation!
The particular species represented in these
beautiful photos from David Young might not at the present time
be endagered species. However, they represent the marvelous
diversity of creatures in God's creation that we are called
to protect.
