Care and justice for all God’s creation is a core value of The Episcopal Church.

Environmental Ministries – perhaps more than any other ministry – is deeply interrelated to the life and work of other ministries of The Episcopal Church. Visit “Jubilee Network”, for example, and you will see how some Episcopalians work to improve access to healthy food in poor and minority communities. Those same communities are often the ones most negatively impacted by ecological degradation.

The fundamental interrelatedness of Environmental Ministries reminds us that we are called to respect the kinship of all creation through education, advocacy, and action as part of our faith, and to help heal our disconnection from the rest of God’s creation.
