Lutherans Restoring Creation
Lutherans Restoring Creation (LRC) is an initiative deeply rooted within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, aimed at fostering robust environmental stewardship among its members. This grassroots movement is driven by the core belief that caring for the planet reflects caring for our neighbors and, thus, a crucial part of living out their faith. Through various educational and actionable programs, LRC seeks to build a dedicated community of individuals committed to sustainable practices and environmental advocacy.
The organization’s efforts include promoting green practices within church operations, encouraging incorporating environmental themes into worship services, and advocating for policies that support ecological justice. By proclaiming God’s promise of hope and healing, LRC aims to safeguard the natural world and serve as a beacon of restoration and reconciliation in a world facing environmental crises.
Their March Newsletter, accessible through their website, updates their latest projects, success stories from various congregations, upcoming events, and practical tips for individuals and church communities to enhance their ecological impact.
