This is not good news. Wonder if #EPPN is tracking this as such a change would definitely impact #creationcare https://grist.org/indigenous/the-navajo-nation-said-no-to-a-hydropower-project-trump-officials-want-to-ensure-tribes-cant-do-that-again/ #DioceseofNavajoland

"And yet—have they not discovered the nature of the afterlife? Perhaps ecology is also experimental theology. Call it internal transformation, call it rot, or call it transcendence." https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/becoming-earth/ #Indigenous #CreationCare

“Creation care isn't a trend or a niche theological idea -- it's baked into the beginning. Humanity was given dominion, yes -- but not domination. The mandate in Genesis 1:28 to ‘fill the earth and subdue it’ was never a license to exploit. It was a call to cultivate, to order the world in a way that reflects the heart of its creator. To subdue chaos, not cause it.” https://relevantmagazine.com/justice/environment/caring-for-the-earth-is-an-act-of-worship/ #christianity #creationcare

I love this idea! Wonder if we can get it going at one of my churches 🤔 https://episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/05/06/from-pickles-and-jams-to-escabeche-and-sauerkraut-episcopal-churchs-free-classes-open-door-to-putting-a-lid-on-produce/ #CreationCare #FoodInsecurity #Canning

I am deeply saddened by Pope Francis' passing. Reading his environmental encyclical "Laudato Si'" was a life-changing experience for me. It lays out in clear, uncompromising prose the combined socio-ecological crises we all face. It is a document for everyone - Christian and non-Christian alike. Worth a read if you have never picked it up (link below).
Rest in peace, Papa Francisco 🙏

Delhi always has a big place in my heart and the winter weather breaks it every year. My personal experience of the smog was one of the catalysts for my interest in #ClimateChange and #CreationCare. We would be more open to moving back to Delhi were it not for the catastrophic pollution levels (even more so now that we have a child). The article is particularly galling for all the hyperlinks to past reporting.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is aka America's environmental intelligence agency (https://www.noaa.gov/about-our-agency).
#NOAA's work includes such missions as flying into the eyewall of #HurricaneHelene. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/news/sep24/ngs-storm-imagery-helene.html.
If you’re a U.S. voter and are undecided about which presidential candidate to support, consider NOAA on #ClimateChange https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/climate-change-impacts-are-increasing-for-americans and #ClimateJustice https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/climate/climate-change-impacts.
Also consider that "#Project2025 includes about four pages on #NOAA and the National Weather Service. That part was written by Thomas F. Gilman, who was an official in [POTUS 45’s] Commerce Department.The document describes NOAA as a primary component 'of the climate change alarm industry' and said it 'should be broken up and downsized.’” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-what-project-2025-says-about-the-national-weather-service-and-noaa

Great way to start the #NewYear: being approached with #BikeAdvocacy questions on the courtyard after #church last Sunday (at #solar-powered First Presbyterian Church of #Monterey—which has #BicycleParking by the sanctuary's front door).
The church member who approached us (not the man in the photo, though at same spot) is a #Carmel resident with many specific ideas for #infrastructure improvements near Carmel High #School (which one of his #children attends) and elsewhere.
Not catching us at church? We welcome phone calls with questions anytime! https://bikemonterey.org/contact-me

There’s a lovely article about Hildegard of Bingen by Erin Risch Zountendam posted this morning on the blog “Earth and Altar.” Hildegard, one of the four female doctors of the Western Church, was a theologian, a prophet, a mystic and a naturalist. Her life and her theology is, to my mind, one of the clearest examples of my argument that most scientists are, in truth, mystics at heart – seeking to understand a deeper meaning and connection in everyday experiences.
From the article, “Who is Hildegard of Bingen?”:
Hildegard’s theological writings have proven no less compelling today than in her own. The themes that resonate with modern readers are different from those that interested her 12th-century audiences, but they are no less rich. Of particular interest to modern readers is Hildegard’s relationship to creation. Hildegard is celebrated for her image of viriditas, or “greenness,” which is associated with life, moral goodness, and vigor—that is, with anything fruitful and thriving that the Holy Spirit brings into existence and sustains. The cosmos itself is alive with the electrifying power of God, who says to Hildegard in one of her visions:
“I am the supreme fire and energy. I have kindled all the sparks of the living … I am the fiery life of divine substance, I blaze above the beauty of the fields, I shine in the waters, I burn in sun, moon, and stars. And I awaken all to life with every wind of the air, as with invisible life that sustains everything. For the air lives in greenness and fecundity. The waters flow as though they are alive.” (7)
The incarnation of Christ, too, is described as being brought about by the Father’s “sweet power of green vigour.” (8) This theme in Hildegard’s writing has proven especially attractive to contemporary ecotheologians, as well as to nature lovers of all kinds.
It’s worth your time at some point on this, the first day of Spring. Probably worth your subscribing to their other posts as well!

Lutherans Restoring Creation is a grassroots movement promoting care for creation in the #EvangelicalLutheranChurchInAmerica (#ELCA). Some of you might be interested in these lectionary commentaries using the #RevisedCommonLectionary that "explore ways an eco-theological interpretation may be an integral part of a theologically sound, exegetically based, understanding of scripture and well-known Bible verses."
