Greenzone Online

Throughout human history, we have seen the world’s religious traditions in perpetual conflict. Despite these conflicts, they still all seem to share a deep connection to the earth and a mutual concern about the many pressing environmental issues of our time. “Creation care,” a common term used by people of faith,  can possibly be the catalyst that finally gets our world’s religious traditions to transcend their various theological and ideological divides as they work together to solve the impending environmental crisis.

he GreenZoneOnline is inviting environmentalists from all faith traditions to join us in our endeavor. We are a safe place, where all voices can openly share how their particular beliefs and values have led them to care so passionately about the future of our planet.

Our universal concern about the earth is getting such diverse organizations like the Evangelical Environmental Network, the Coalition of the Environment and Jewish Life, The U.S. Catholic Conference, and the Naitonal Council of Churches to work together in ways we have not seen before. As organizations previously in conflict work toether to save the environment, we may also enter a a new era of reconciliation among our churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples.  T

Whatever the outcome, bringing together the spiritual and secular voices will amplify our message.  We will be a powerful voice that can be really heard by those who have the power to get things done. And by focusing all of our intellectual and creative resources on saving the planet, as a bonus, we may enter a whole new era of reconcililation among the fatih traditions of the world.
