The Episcopal Church and Environmental Stewardship By Gretchen Van Vilet and Sam Guffey Psalm 96:10-13. The Lord reigns... Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad, let the seas resound and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy, they will sing before the Lord for He comes, He comes to judge the earth. We all have a responsibility to keep our environment clean to protect the health of ourselves, the animals that live here, and the earth itself. “If everyone threw trash on the ground every day we would not feel very good”, says Sam, age 7. “The trash could kill all of the plants; it could pollute the water and make it dirty so we couldn’t drink it.” If we all get involved
4
with keeping the environment clean, it won’t be such a big job. There are a number of initiatives in the Episcopal Church recognizing the importance of the link between the Church and taking care of our environment. The history of the Church in environmental stewardship formally dates back to 1991, when environmental stewardship was established as a priority by the General Convention of the Episcopal Church. Its mandate was “to educate, motivate, and facilitate congregations, dioceses, and provinces toward local and regional plans, advocacy, and action.” 1 In 1995, the Justice,
Here are just some suggested activities Peace, and Integrity of Creation Committee (JPIC), was established to “to facilitate communication and collaboration between the Executive Council and ministries throughout the Episcopal Church and Church Center units which address issues of peace, social and economic justice and the environment.” 2
members of our Church community could do:
The Episcopal Ecology Network (EpEN) is a network that is part of the Episcopal Church and encourages us to think about caring for the environment as part of our Church activities. “The EpEN’s mission is to educate, encourage, and facilitate congregations, dioceses, provinces, and the Episcopal Church, USA, toward local, regional, national, and international activities for the stewardship of God’s Creation.” 3
attention (maybe the Bolin Creek Parkway).
The Environmental Stewardship Committee of the Chapel of the Cross is a way for our own parish community to become more actively involved in learning about the link between our Church and the environment. My son Sam and I became involved with this committee so we could help identify ways to teach and learn more about how the environment is important to the Church and to our daily lives. This committee is “mandated by Diocesan Convention to foster a greater understanding of the theological basis for environmental stewardship, provide education regarding the environmental challenges facing our planet, and promote actions that reflect responsible environmental stewardship of God’s creation, our planet Earth.” 4
• We can each pick up trash we see around us. • We can organize a group clean-up day, with our cub scouts, church school, or other groups and pick locations in our community that need
• We can donate money to organizations that support our environment, like the Nature Conservancy or the Sierra Club.
• We can join a Church group focused on environmental issues, like the Environmental Stewardship Committee at the Chapel of the Cross.
• We can talk to our friends and family about why a clean environment is important for our health and our community.
• We can take a nature walk to better appreciate our surroundings.
• We can visit our local organizations that focus on the environment, like the Botanical Gardens.
• We can do projects at school to learn more about the environment.
• We can write to our local newspapers to publish a letter to the editor to encourage people to keep the environment clean.
• We can participate in Earth Day activities each year on April 22.
As members of the Church and our community, there are big and small things that we can each do to help keep our surroundings free of trash and other pollutants. This is a responsibility we each need to take on to ensure that our planet Earth is here for future generations.

to use up all those things around the pantry which couldn’t be eaten during Lenten fasting (eggs, milk, and butter, for instance). What to do with all these ingredients to be disposed of? Simply add flour, grease the griddle, heat, and voilà - pancakes on hand! While the traditions have changed over the years (and Mardi Gras has a more familiar ring to most people than Shrove Tuesday), some things will always remain good opportunities for fellowship. For the second year in a row, CrossTies, our young adult group for people in their 20s and 30s, will be hosting a pancake supper that night at the church. The entire parish is invited, and for a small donation ($5 suggested) you can come enjoy a stack of pancakes, sausage, and the butter and syrupy goodness necessary to top it all off, along with the company of your fellow friends and parishioners. We’d love to have you all come out and eat. The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper will be held Tuesday, February 21, 2012, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the dining room. If you are a CrossTies participant, we would love your help in setup, cooking, serving, or cleanup. If you’re new to CrossTies, this is a great opportunity to meet other people and serve others in the Lord’s name. Watch the Sunday 11

Special Lenten Event!
Also in Lent
February 25, 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. A Lenten Day of Reflection with Jo Bailey Wells and Sam Wells (Registration required) Join other Episcopalians of the Durham Convocation for a Lenten Reflection Day with the Rev. Jo Bailey Wells and the Rev. Sam Wells. They will offer a look at four characters from the Holy Week narratives taken from Sam Wells’ book, Power and Passion: Six Characters is Search of Resurrection. This book was commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the 2007 Lenten book. Copies of the book will be for sale at the event. Jo Bailey Wells teaches Old Testament and biblical theology, particularly in relation to its contemporary relevance for ministry. She is also the Director of the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies at Duke which is designed to meet both academic and formational interests of the growing number of Anglicans and Episcopalians who come to study at Duke. Sam Wells became dean of Duke University Chapel and research professor of Christian ethics at the Divinity School in 2005. His responsibilities include preaching at the majority of the 11:00 a.m. Sunday services, leading worship, interacting with and praying for all levels of the university – leaders, faculty, administrators, students, and staff along with Religious Life groups and the congregation. His work also entails lifting up the connections between Christian faith and theology and the pressing issues of the day, and making the Chapel and the poorest neighborhoods of Durham visible to one another. The Wells recently announced their summer move back to London, England, where Sam will become rector of St. Martin’s in the Fields parish.

In this course we shall examine Amos in some detail and then use what we learn from him and apply those principles to the narratives of the Passion found in the four gospels. While these four are similar, they are not exactly the same and there are some teachings found in them which may have been misunderstood over the years. Does Luke’s account give complete forgiveness to everyone involved in this sordid scenario or just some? We shall examine this and other components of the passion as well.
