Covenants can be a great way to encourage people to make a real commitment to change. The following covenant originates in the US, but is just as relevant to Christians and churches here:
"We recognize that creation care is a part of the call to Christian discipleship. We are committed to integrating biblical principles of environmental stewardship into the life of our church. As first steps, we commit ourselves to improving our energy conservation practices, reducing waste through recycling, and promoting greater concern for God's creation. We seek to learn more about the impact of climate change, species loss, and other environmental problems on the vulnerable poor, doing our part to address these concerns for the benefit of all."
I encourage you to make use of this covenant as a tool in greening your lives and congregations. Let me know if you would like your commitment listed on this blog.
In memory of Steven M. Wise
