Disciples are among those who have sent letters to each U.S. Senator urging elected officials to take steps this year to address the global climate crisis. As a faith community, Disciples believe God calls us to be stewards of his creation. The letter stresses that Disciples have worked with a variety of ecumenical and interfaith partners for more than four decades to ensure that any U.S. or global response to climate change protects both creation and God’s children.
A number of General Assembly resolutions have advocated for action to address climate change issues, that often disproportionately affect those living in poverty both in the United States and abroad. Disciples Home Missions and the Disciples Center for Public Witness continue to work with a variety of advocacy communities on the issue. To read the letter, go to:
