The Creation Care Task Force provides leadership to the Dioceses of Eastern and Western Michigan on issues related to the care, protection, and remediation of God’s creation. One of the group’s key goals is to make environmental stewardship and climate care a significant element of every parish’s life and mission. We would love to see members of our two dioceses become practicing “environmental evangelists!”

We invite you to spend part of your Saturday morning with the task force, March 2nd from 10-11:30am, for our third online Creation Care Summit. Our panel of four leaders from our dioceses will talk with us about actions individuals can take to live more sustainably and decrease your personal impact on the environment. The panel’s insights will help inspire and give information to jumpstart your own stewardship of creation, starting at home.

Recordings from our previous Summits are available on the creation care resource pages of the websites – Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan.

Speakers and topics include:

• Ben Brown (St. Luke’s, Kalamazoo) – Products and practices for living sustainably
• Amy Freeman (St. Jude’s, Fenton) – Composting at home
• Tobi Hanna-Davies (St. Luke’s, Kalamazoo) – Reducing animal products in diets, veganism
• Lydia Nicholas (Grace, Port Huron) – Caring for one’s watershed

We look forward to sharing our experiences with you and hope this is the beginning of a broader conversation about how Episcopalians can work together to become better stewards of God’s creation.
