Christ Church Greenwich is being proactive as compassionate stewards of the Earth, beginning with the Creation Care Series, every Sunday at 11:15 am, free and open to the public. They are also forming “The CCG Creation Care Committee” to collaborate, identify and act on how to become more sustainable in everyone’s personal lives, on the CCG campus, and finding ways to influence a greener Greenwich and beyond.
Additionally, The Rector of Christ Church Greenwich, The Rev. Marek Zabriskie, worked with over 40 authors from around the world during the pandemic to put “The Creation Care Bible Challenge” together. Six of the authors, renowned environmental leaders, are the upcoming Sunday Forum speakers.

About Creation Care:
“Biodiversity loss, plastic pollution, climate change, and water stress are reasons for great concern about the health and future of the environment on which we depend,” says Stewart Lindsay, Vice President, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability for Campbell's Soup and co-chair of the Creation Care Series. “But there are also many reasons for hope. Science points to clear interventions. Innovation creates new solutions. Markets include natural capital. And, most importantly, increasing numbers of people with good will and strong intent are rallying to restore nature and ‘the handiwork of God.’ "
Many people have had peak religious moments in nature when they are reminded of the beauty of creation, encountering magnificent landscapes or sunsets. “Who can venture through a forest of redwood trees or stand on a mountain overlooking the valleys below and not have a religious experience?” says the Rector of Christ Church Greenwich, Marek Zabriskie. “The world is at risk. Climate change and global warming are affecting all of creation. As Christians, we can play a critical role in helping to reshape our self-understanding and attachment to the earth while there is still time. We need to critically rethink our lifestyles, our use of resources, our attachment to creation, and our theology and mission.”
