The Creation Care Network raises awareness among God’s people of our Biblical call to action to be good caretakers and stewards of Creation.
God’s World – Creation, made good, yet groaning under the weight of our sin and disobedience
God’s Word – the Scriptures, which tell of Creation, Fall, Jesus Christ’s Redemption, and Return
God’s Work – His mandate to care for Creation that it might flourish and praise him continually
Vision Statement
We envision a world where our expression of Christian faith has God’s people actively engaged in works of good stewardship of God’s Creation in their homes, churches, communities, and societies.
Structure
The Creation Care Network is a collaboration of several networks (A Rocha Europe Creation Care Network and Lausanne/WEA Creation Care Network). In this collaboration we share resources on Creation Care which we gather from the global church; organize and/or participate in gatherings to promote and share our Biblical mandate as Christians to be God’s stewards; and encourage local European voices to create and share local expressions of Creation Care from their communities.
Resources
As a collaborative network seeking to engage God’s people we access resources from our respective networks, organize together regional or country level gatherings, and create new materials on Creation Care.
Good News for All the Earth – The Korean Invitation to Respond to the Gospel – The Korean Invitation was drafted at the Global Creation Care Forum (GCCF) held in Gonjiam, South Korea, 28 September – 2 October 2024. The content and structure of the Korean Invitation were shaped through several sessions at the GCCF and further refined collaboratively via Google Docs, with contributions from nearly 150 in-person and online delegates during and after the Forum. These delegates represented over 40 countries from every inhabited continent, many of whom had also participated in the Fourth Lausanne Congress in Incheon, South Korea.
