Creation Justice Churches is a program of the United Church of Christ that guides congregations in discerning how they can best embody a commitment to care for God’s creation. As Christians, this is our first calling in the Bible. It is also a calling that has been integral to the DNA of the UCC as a denomination and the historic role played by the UCC’s Commission for Racial Justice in launching the environmental justice movement. In the face of the climate crisis, the Creation Justice Church program has provided a path of active hope for a growing number of congregations. As the UCC’s Minister for Environmental Justice, the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt will introduce the program and host the following church leaders who have helped lead their church into becoming Creation Justice Churches:
- Barbara Smith-Bacon from First Congregational United Church of Christ in Sarasota, Florida
- Rev. Robert Grabill from the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College
- Rev. Nancy Leckerling from First Congregational Church in Guilford, Connecticut
- Claire Stiles from Lakewood United Church of Christ, St. Petersburg, Florida
This webinar is part of a special series of Thursdays for the Soul webinars focused on twelve Just World Covenant programs in the United Church of Christ. On the third Thursday of each month, one of these programs will be featured. Learn more at: just world covenants
