It is time for people
of diverse backgrounds and communities around the world
to work together ...
to protect the life support systems
on our magnificent common home, planet Earth.
Maja Groff, Convener,
Climate Governance Commission, 2024
To be protectors of God’s handiwork
is essential;
it is not optional,
not a secondary aspect
of our Christian experience
Pope Francis in Laudato Si' (217)
​​​​​
It is good for humanity
and the world at large
when we believers
better recognize the ecological commitments
which stem from our convictions.
Pope Francis, in Laudato Si', (64)
