2023–2024 Goal: Response to the Cry of Earth
With a raise of hands, the 2023 Congregational Assembly affirmed the congregation’s commitment to focus on Laudato Si’ Action Platform (LSAP) Goal: Response to the Cry of Earth.
Response to the Cry of Earth is a call to protect our common home for the wellbeing of all, and to address climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and ecological sustainability as areas of inequality and great need.
Some of the highlights of discussion suggest future focus and actions: use our voices and votes to elect government leaders who will aggressively combat climate change and support investment in clean energy programs; educate ourselves and others on the ecological crisis we are facing; share ideas for reduce, reuse, repair and recycle; collaborate with others (communities, religious, church, indigenous and minority groups, and those most affected by the climate crisis) through prayer, stories, and action. Believe that as we grow in our awareness of our interdependence with all of creation, we CAN make a difference to save and protect all of life.
