- W1204440985 abstract "The Episcopal Church passed some environmental resolutions forty years ago, but was only twenty-five years ago that most Americans first heard about climate change. In 1988 media broke news that scientists were concerned about effects on planets climate and ecosystems of burning fossil fuels. In 1989 Bill McKibben published The End of Nature, and term began enter public consciousness. first time, ordinary citizens began glimpse what would happen if global warming went unchecked. In same year, Anne Rowthom published her first book on sacredness of natural world, Caring for thereby helping launch a quest in Episcopal Church reclaim ancient understanding that God is intimately involved in natural environment. As theologian Elizabeth A. Johnson has observed, basically got lost in thinking of Western Christianity. For last five hundred years, she writes, the religious value of earth . . . [was not] a subject of theology, preaching, or religious education.1I am glad say that Episcopal Church's awareness of ecological issues, particularly climate crisis, has sharpened considerably since late 1980s. In September 2011, bishops of Episcopal Church, meeting in Quito, Ecuador, issued a pastoral letter Episcopalians worldwide that begins with a call repentance face unfolding environmental crisis of earth. The letter affirms Gods abiding and all-encompassing love for creation and recognizes that we cannot separate ourselves as humans from rest of created order. Giving particular prominence mounting urgency of addressing climate change, and acknowledging that it is poor and disadvantaged who suffer most from callous environmental irresponsibility, letter commits bishops and urges eveiy Episcopalian to lift up prayers in personal and public worship for environmental justice, for sustainable development, and for help in restoring right relations both among humankind and between humankind and rest of creation. The letter further calls for commitment energy conservation, use of clean, renewable sources of energy, and efforts reduce, reuse, and recycle; also challenges us to seek understand and uproot political, social, and economic causes of environmental destruction and abuse.2This 2011 letter from House of Bishops drew some of its language and ideas from a pastoral letter on environment entitled To Serve Christ in All Creation, which was released in 2003 by bishops of New England (Province I).3 As an Episcopal priest and climate activist I was asked draft text for that first Episcopal pastoral letter on environment, and I also helped edit a pastoral letter released in 2009 by Episcopal bishops of Province VIII, which focused on taking action to avert catastrophic and irreversible changes life on this planet because of global warming.4 In 2010 an Episcopal-Anglican climate justice statement was issued after a gathering in Dominican Republic, convened by Bishop Marc Andrus of Episcopal Diocese of California and Bishop Naudal Gomes, Diocese of Curitiba, Brazil.5Leaders in Anglican Communion have taken a strong public stand on spiritual, theological, and moral grounds for combating climate change. Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams spoke frequently about global warming, in strongest possible terms warning that price of our continued failure protect earth would be violence and social collapse.6 The Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, fasted from flying for a year in order reduce his carbon footprint. J And Presiding Bishop of Episcopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori, has repeatedly addressed climate change in sermons, speeches, and public testimony.Jefferts Schori was an oceanographer before she was ordained, and when she speaks about climate crisis, she respects both science and faith. …" @default.
