JUSTICE FOR ALL CREATION
Environmental justice is fundamental to all we do. There can be no meaningful faith-based climate action that is not also just and equitable to the fullest extent possible.
Every action should consider who will benefit and who will pay the costs, and as far as possible should consider unintended consequences and their effects on others. Climate action that is just is also inclusive, giving the strongest voice to those most affected.
JOIN OUR MISSION
We know that the climate crisis is not merely an information-based challenge – it requires a complete, values-based shift in all aspects of our lives in line with the Gospel. The Path trains Companions to walk with parishes as they deepen and expand their engagement with God through creation justice. Our goal is to inspire and support the development of holistic leaders and communities, rooted in prayer, for a climate changed world both in Province One and across the Episcopal Church.
Province One Enrollment in the Path
Parishes around Province I can sign up by the end of August each year 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
