The theology of ecology

I posted a prayer from God's Politics Blog earlier today and mentioned how that particular prayer touched a nerve with me and reminded me of the goal of the Good Steward Group. Well, there's another great post today on the same blog on the theology of ecology. It's a great reminder of our responsibility and the numerous reasons that we called to steward the environment. The post is worth the quick read if interested.

A Prayer of Reminder

Today I was reading through one of the blogs that I follow, God's Politics Blog (a blog for progressive Chrisitians) when I came across their prayer for the day. Here is their prayer:

"Maker of all things, Creator of heaven and earth, we thank you for the wonder and beauty of nature. May we be ever vigilant and responsible with the world that you have given us, keeping mindful not only that we are your stewards, but also that your creation is a gift for all generations."

This prayer reminded me of the intended mission behind the Good Steward Group. It also was a prayer that brought me temporarily out of my busy and excuse-filled life to call me out for not following through with the GSG more regularly. For that, I apologize to all of you and will plan on organizing another GSG event for us to take part in and work to restore that natural beauty God has given us.

So, if you have any ideas of what or where to take action please let me know.
