Canberra to become a Solar Church City?

I have just returned from a very exciting meeting planning how to get large numbers of churches in Canberra kitted out with solar panels to provide environmentally friendly power and ongoing income. Anyone in Canberra who has thought about getting solar panels on your church- now is the time to contact me and let me know (email me on fiveleafecoawards@gmail.com)

I will keep you updated on details as they evolve....

Important Lessons from the Bible

Why Jesus came:
"that the world might be saved through him"
John 3:17

Who Jesus is going to use to save the world:
"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God."
Romans 8:19

Our role on earth:
"The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it."
Genesis 2:15

The Five Pillars of A Christian Theology of Sustainability

1. God is the creator, sustainer and redeemer of creation.

2. Covenantal Stewardship (we have a covenant with God as stewards of the earth).

3. The creation-fall-redemption paradigm (God made a good world; human failure broke the relationships between god, man and creation; Christ provides hope for all creation).

4.Bodily resurrection(we will rise with bodies, not as spirits)

5.New Creation (a new Heaven and new Earth refers to a renewal and an earthing of heaven, not starting over).
