Resources

interview by Diane J. McDougall

As with any resource,follow the advice of EFCA leader Josh Carroll (see “Creation-Care”): “Be discerning: The more liberal stuff that doesn’t put God first, toss it aside.”

• For a list of denominational statements on the environment, visit www.acton.org and look at the “theology and the environment” page.
• Check out a group that’s evangelical, environmental and active in world missions: Care of Creation (careofcreation.net).
• To consider how stewardship of creation might affect our lifestyle and how we can advocate on behalf of those without a voice, visit Restoring Eden (www.restoringeden.org).
• Check out The Green Bible (New Revised Standard Version) for highlighted Scriptures on creation-care, plus input from Christian conservationists, theologians and practitioners.*
