Churches in Sweden addressing the climate change.
Churches in Sweden published jointly recently a booklet Protect the Earth that God Loves - The Churches of Sweden on Climate and Sustainable Development.
The document underlines that: ‘The global climate situation is becoming serious and critical. Time for effecting change is rapidly shortening. …. However, there is a basic common belief that God loves creation and wants to protect it for its future survival. God is completely against a damaged and spoiled creation.’
This booklet is designed to help churches generate opportunities for discussion on some of the world’s current and reoccurring issues. Sustainable development includes many different issues, and the booklet can help us reflect from a broad perspective although its main focus is on climate as this is an area where changes can and should be swiftly instigated.
