Protecting Places: The Lands and Waters Where We Play, and Pray
FAITH AND WILDERNESS
The Psalmist declares, “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Ps.24:1NIV). Humans are tenants who hold the land in trust from God and in partnership with all creatures. Through God, the land nourishes all life and provides us with what we need to survive. As part of our call to be stewards of Creation, we have a responsibility to God to care for the land, ensuring that it serves the good of all Creation, and protecting it for future generations and for all life.
