CoB Actions for Creation

Friends, this may be the most effective way to get the largest number of voices of Brethren to Capitol Hill.  Lets take Brethren Advocacy Days Viral!  The goal is to see how many Church of the Brethren folks to take action. So click here to send an email to folks you know and help spread the word.  And, here is what you can do!

Personal Action – Congress and the President

The senate was supposed to take up climate and energy legislation this fall, but now they are saying they won’t address climate change this year if they even do it at all. Click here to send an email to your Senator telling them a delay in passing climate legislation is unacceptable – that it is time to be good stewards of God’s Creation.

Also, this December, the international community will be deciding how to address climate change in the coming years from a global perspective. We are asking President Obama to attend the upcoming negotiations in Copenhagen and engage in an effective and helpful manner. We are encouraging people to sign a message to President Obama encouraging him to attend. Click here to read and sign the postcard online.

Pray for the Peace of All Creation

September 21st is the International Day of Prayer for Peace, and it is our hope and prayer that all of Creation will experience God’s peace.  Click here for prayers and liturgical resources to include in your day, or service, a prayer for Creation.

Let’s see how many people in the Church of the Brethren we can get to take action to cool our climate, and bring healing to all of God’s Creation!
