Education is a first step as we attempt to be faithful stewards of creation. Ask the appropriate committees of your congregation to arrange for occasions to learn about environmental stewardship, global warming and appropriate use of energy – and how to apply your faith to those issues. This might be a special session in a building management committee or a four-week session of an ongoing adult ed class.
