A covenant to take care of the Creator's handiwork | Seattle Times Newspaper

Religious Left, on the move and not a minute too soon.

Thank you, Bishop Jefferts Schori.

The Bishop is, by the way, the first ever female Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Communion in America.

Opinion | A covenant to take care of the Creator's handiwork | Seattle Times Newspaper:

Fifteen years after the pioneering Earth Ministry was founded in Seattle to link religion and the environment, the nation's attention will be drawn back to the city toward another, potentially broader spiritual awakening.

Next April, the national Episcopal Church will team with Episcopalians in Western Washington to host a conference to launch a multi-faith campaign on climate change.

At the event, the Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will invite national organizations of Christians, Jews and Muslims to commit to reducing the carbon footprint of their churches, temples and mosques by a minimum of 50 percent by 2015.
