Creation Care

As Christians, we delight in the created world that God called good. One way we demonstrate our love for God and our neighbors is to care for the physical environment in which all living things exist. We do this in many ways, whether by planting community gardens, advocating for environmentally just legislation, or working toward carbon neutrality. In all we do, we seek to be good stewards of God’s bountiful gift of creation. 
 
In 2025, The Episcopal Church began a new approach to creation care and environmental justice inspired by this 81st General Convention resolution. Episcopal dioceses and communities around the world that share watersheds, ecosystems, or environmental concerns are partnering in new eco-region networks to support local ecojustice initiatives. We look forward to growing these networks—and continuing our advocacy work—as we care and give thanks for what the Book of Common Prayer calls “this fragile earth, our island home.”

Getting started

There are many ways to step into creation care and environmental justice, from studying the “Love God, Love God’s World” curriculum to helping your church or diocese work with community partners and make conscious choices about food and land use. Find out how you can get educated and involved.

Eco-region networks and advocacy

Our Episcopal Church creation care work involves the burgeoning development of eco-region networks focused on supporting local efforts, as well as environmental advocacy by our Office of Government Relations. 

‘Love God, Love God’s World’

This nine-session, film-based curriculum is designed for Episcopalians who are new to or seeking a more immersive experience in their journey toward creation care and environmental ministry.
