Why the Green Churches label?

Because we believe that God reveals himself through creation, and that he has entrusted it to humankind, who must cultivate and care for it,

Because life on earth is a blessing and reflects God’s love, acting to preserve it is a way of loving one’s neighbor and work for justice,

Because the ecological crisis calls us to hear the cry of the earth, which “groans in labor pains” (Rom 8:22), and to choose, in hope, ways of life that prepare for the emergence of a new creation now and beyond,

Because the people of God can pray and act to bring this hope to the world,

Because we are aware that it is by converting together that we will succeed in building the more just and ecological world necessary for the survival of humanity.
