Mount Royal United Church

Environmental Conversation

The Christian Development Committee is happy to share some ideas which are beneficial to the health of our people, our planet & our global community.

Most of you know Sarah Gingles who has been a part of the Mount Royal family since childhood. She is passionate about caring for our environment & presently is taking Environmental Studies remotely through Queen's University in Ontario.

Sarah has kindly prepared a video entitled "Environmental Conversation" which highlights some of the current issues and discusses ways in which we can make changes in our everyday lives to help achieve our goals towards a healthy planet. Helpful tips and a sharing of Ideas.

We feel that this is important as God has given us a beautiful earth and it is our responsibility to care for our planet and its inhabitants. Psalm 24:1-2 teaches us that "the earth is God's and we are but caretakers."

The United Church of Canada states on its website that it has been "working on ecological issues for 40 years. Our faith calls us to live with respect in creation. We are concerned that climate change, ocean change, lack of access to clean water & resource extraction have a greater impact on the most impoverished and vulnerable living beings."

Our hope is that by taking action now it will alleviate more issues in the future.

Thank you, Sarah, for preparing this information for us and starting the conversation.
