An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice is a four-level program now being developed in Massachusetts to encourage and support our congregations to amplify and accelerate their response to the climate emergency.

Following the call of our bishops, we aim to encourage churches to select meaningful action steps they can take in each of the pillars of Creation justice, and to grow in knowledge and skills as they progress along the four-fold path, which we’ve named Prepare, Plant, Grow, Harvest.

We will provide consultation, support, and recognition for participating churches and will share their work so that others will be inspired.

Now Enrolling Province I Parishes for the Path
After a successful pilot, An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice is growing this fall. Parishes around Province I can sign up by the end of August to explore their unique Path. Path parishes will have a trained Companion walking with them as they discern how their parish can deepen their commitment to caring for creation by Praying, Learning, Acting and Advocating. Path parishes will also be in fellowship with each other via monthly Zoom gatherings. If you think your parish might be interested, speak with your rector and vestry and reach out to Rev. Rachel Field and Deb Baker at episcopalcreationpath@gmail.com

Not in Province I?
We are happy to share resources and lessons learned so that you can implement the Path in your context. Send us an email at episcopalcreationpath@gmail.com and we’ll add you to our growing list of folks across the church who want to explore the Path. You’ll get occasional emails about trainings, as well as access to materials to help you get started.
