Concern for Earthcare

Entering right relationship with the earth leads us to practice all the testimonies in a holistic way. 

peace * equality * simplicity * integrity * community * stewardship

"Friends are called upon to become models and patterns of simple living and concern for the earth."* 
Do you feel this call and has it led to any changes in your manner of life? 

"How we treat the earth and its creatures is a basic part of our relationship with God."* 
In what ways to you work to strengthen your ties to the natural world and thus to God? 

"...the well being of the earth is a fundamental spiritual concern."*

In what ways does your spiritual life reflect your care for the well being of the earth? 


*Quotes are from Faith and Practice, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, 2002, p. 81
