| One of the activities of
the Episcopal Ecological Network (EpEN) is to
educate
ourselves about the issues before us. We feel it is necessary
to gain a deepening knowledge of the theological and spiritual
issues, as well as scientific and practical ecological issues.
|
Earth Day
|
One activity that all can participate
in is Earth Day. It is our opportunity to express as individuals
or as a group our concern for all that is happening to this
planet Earth, our island home.
With this page the Episcopal Ecological
Network (EpEN) seeks to provide both a listing of church-related
Earth Day Events and Earth Day Activities,
as well as resources (list pending)
to help individuals and congregations to participate in Earth
Day.

Earth Day Activities
Leafing the Tree
A project done by several churches in
the Diocese of Tennessee in 2002. A clergy person gives a sermon
on Stewardship of Creation around Earth Day. The Clergy person
would finish the sermon by challenging his/her congregation
to Leaf a paper tree on a wall outside the sanctuary with Green
Power Sign ups. Please talk to your clergy person about doing
this or something similar during April (Earth Month). This was
done at Christ Church Cathedral in Nashville. For more information,
contact Joyce Wilding,
Province IV representative of the Episcopal Environmental
Network.
