grandma and childFaith and Environmental Health
How we choose to live, the products we use everyday, and the way we care for God's Earth impact our health and the well-being of all Creation. Environmental hazards such as water pollution, poor air quality, and exposure to toxic chemicals in every day products represent one of the greatest threats to God's Creation and God's children.

We are called to be stewards of Creation (Genesis 2:15) and of our bodies (I Corinthians 6:19-20). We are also called to care for the most vulnerable to toxic chemical exposure- women, children, low income communities, communities of color, people living with disabilities or compromised immune systems (Matthew 25:40). By seeking justice in love (Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:39) we have an opportunity to renew our bodies and all of Creation.
