Stewardship Stories

A TAPESTRY OF ENGAGEMENT

Across the nation, wherever they live, work, and worship, people of faith have established diverse initiatives to care for God’s creation.

  • The Catholic Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, LA has worked to prevent erosion of fertile wetlands and loss of marine livelihood to overdevelopment.
  • Members of the Social Action Committee of Temple Beth El in East Amherst, NY organized legislative meetings in support of pesticide registry to lower the rate of breast cancer.
  • Holman United Methodist Church in Culver City, CA worked to prevent dumping of radioactive waste at a Native American burial ground in the Mohove Desert.
  • Volunteers from First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood, MO hold cleanups of stormwater creeks, beautifying the waters, improving wildlife habitat, and promoting public health.
  • The Church of the Intercession in Harlem, NY, burial place of John Audubon, led a struggle to provide buses with cleaner emissions in communities with high pediatric asthma rates.
  • Interfaith climate and energy campaigns have been established in 21 states.

Here are many threads weaving works of faith across the fabric of creation, binding the common good and displaying the fullness of religious life.
