Creator God – maker and shaper of
all that is,
seen and unseen;
You are in the expanse and depth
of Creation, and in the processes
that make life possible.
Yet we are distracted by the gods
we make ourselves and our
lives become fractured and fragmented.
In our brokenness we disturb the
Earth’s capacity to hold us.
Instead we find climate uncertainty
and global injustice.
Call us back from the brink.
Help us to choose love not fear,
to change ourselves and not the planet;
to act justly for the sake of the vulnerable;
and
to make a difference today
for life tomorrow.
In your name – Father, Son and Spirit.
Amen.
Martyn Goss 2008 (Director) Council for Church & Society Diocese of Exeter
The challenge of climate change is huge, we will all have different ways of responding but one thing we can all do is pray. Each month we will feature a prayer from Eco-Congregation churches around the world. We would welcome submissions of climate change prayers, of up to 20 lines, to scotland@ecocongregation.org.uk.
Many Christians are concerned about the environment but don't know what they can do. Eco-Congregation Scotland is an ecumenical charity which offers a programme to help congregations understand environmental issues and make appropriate practical and spiritual responses. The programme is free of charge and very flexible, as each congregation has different opportunities for change.
Small actions add up to big results. Hundreds of Scottish congregations have requested information, 255 are already well on their way with environmental projects and 86 have gained awards. Could you start things off in your church?
Find out on these pages who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved. There's also news, a of events, materials, a list of registered churches, and pages for regional networks. Enjoy browsing, and please contact us if you have any comments on the site.
