Developing an Awareness and Action for Faith and the Environment

The initiative of this program is to raise awareness of “faith and the environment” within Winnipeg congregations and enable these same congregations to mobilize for action that continues education within those congregations and promotes active responses toward environmental care and sustainability within the broader community.

This initiative seeks to raise awareness at the congregational level. Congregations then are asked to take action among their own families, within their own congregation, and reaching out to the local community and beyond. It is hoped that congregations will contribute to community awareness and the multidisciplinary response by inviting conversations with people of varying skills and backgrounds to sit together, plan together and act together. Local needs for stewardship of the land, the water, the air, sustainable energy, sustainable access to quality food, and the like, will vary – as will the local resources and responses.
