Honoring and
Protecting Creation
Called as Christians to this Work
In living out our baptismal covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people, we are called to tend to the planet that houses and nourishes all people and to have wisdom and reverence in this work so that the earth is a source of healthy life for each of the more than 8 billion people now inhabiting the planet, as well as for those who come after us. Created in the image of God, we are co-creators–fellow workers–inspired to bring about healing and wholeness when we see sickness and brokenness. We see the suffering of people that is caused by lack of clean water, clean air, and nutrient-rich food. We see the many signs of environmental degradation. We can’t ignore the impact of our habits and lifestyles on the earth that supports all people.

Diocesan Resolution
In October 2022, the 135th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Church in Colorado passed the resolution “Call for Creation Care Action” sponsored by the Creation Care Team for the Episcopal Church in Colorado. The resolution called on all congregations to engage in the work of caring for creation. A survey in early 2023 assessed ways congregations in our diocese were already engaged in the work of caring for creation. A second survey was sent out in early 2025 to help us understand how our diocese has grown in the depth and breadth of its creation care ministry. View Call for Creation Care Action Resolution and 2023 2023 Survey Results Report.
