Our Vision
Believing God is revealed in all of Creation, we raise our voices as
members of Earth community. Our planet, our home, is charged with
life, and its beauty expresses and nourishes our common spirituality.
Yet Earth is being threatened by
human
activity.
Thus Earth-Keeping is a moral issue based on justice, and we work for
right relationships with everything God creates.
Our Rationale
The
global environment with its finite resources
is a common concern of all peoples. The protection of Earth's vitality,
diversity, and beauty is a sacred trust. --- The Earth
Charter
In Michigan, our soul is not to be found in steel and concrete, or
sprawling new housing developments, or strip malls. Rather it is found
in the soft petals of a trillium, the gentle whisper of a headwater
stream, the vista of a Great Lakes shoreline, and the wonder in
children's eyes upon seeing their first bald eagle. ---Former Governor
William Milliken
Everything you do may seem insignificant. But
it is very important that you do it. ---Gandhi
We can't save the natural world, except by
rediscovering the sacred in nature. ---Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr
The hidden environment of the human spirit is seldom mentioned in our
concern for our more obvious environmental problems. We would do well to
carefully reconsider this omission.
---Vera C. Shaw
The Earth is the Lord's and all that it holds, the world and all its
inhabitants.
---Psalm 24:1
