From Creation Justice Ministries:
Today, September 1, is the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.
This celebration started among the world Orthodox Christian community in 1989 with the leadership of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who is affectionately known as “the Green Patriarch.”…
This August, Pope Francis announced that the Roman Catholic Church will also recognize September 1 as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. …
The call to prayer didn’t stop with the Orthodox and Catholic communities…
The National Council of Churches issued a press release jointly with Creation Justice Ministries, in which
Creation Justice Ministries Executive Director Shantha Ready Alonso said, “Prayer is powerful. Uniting in prayer will give us the spiritual strength we need to face the most daunting challenge humanity has known: to heal and restore God’s web of creation before it is too late,”
and the World Council of Churches is beginning a 33-day season of prayer entitled, “Time for Creation”.
