Creation is essential to our humanity, our covenant with God, and our mission as Christians.
The Creation Care Committee has grown out of a desire to deepen and expand work around environmental stewardship at the School of Theology. It is this committee’s theological conviction that caring for creation is essential to our humanity, our covenant with God, and our mission as Christians. The committee seeks to magnify environmental and sustainability ministry opportunities at the School of Theology by collaborating with existing institutions including the Master Arts in Religion and the Environment program, the Corners & Edges Seminary Garden as well as the environmental/sustainability programs at the College.
Following the focus of The Episcopal Church on creation care, the Creation Care Committee facilitates hands-on environmental ministry experiences and ideas with an aim to inspire future clergy and lay church leaders at the seminary for the work of environmental stewardship in the parishes and communities they will serve. The committee provides educational programming and encourages discussions of sustainability, environmental justice, ecotheology, and green ministry in all aspects of life at the School of Theology.
