“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.” I am awed, almost to the point of paralysis, by the power of that statement and by the urgency and the magnitude of the task – Caring for God’s Creation… . This afternoon we will hear about Christian responsibility to ALL God’s creation. The urgent reasons why we must – and the ways in which we can – exercise our Christian responsibility. Let’s personalize what we hear. Plan to go home and share this knowledge. Plan to implement these suggestions. We really MUST use only what we need, not more.
