"The equality of all people rests essentially on their dignity as persons and the rights that flow from it: Every form of social or cultural discrimination in fundamental personal rights on the grounds of sex, race, color, social conditions, language, or religion must be curbed and eradicated as incompatible with God’s design.”

Caring for our Earth

 Caring for our Earth is a requirement of our faith, as through this practice we become stewards of   creation. In doing so, we are compelled to live and act in ways that protect the well-being of the planet   and its inhabitants, whether human or non-human, in caring for creation we show respect and love to the   Creator.

 Our bond to creation primordially calls us to be advocates and disciples in the current issues that   environmentally threaten the integrity of our planet. The mitigation of human-induced climate change   affects us all and the future of our younger generations.
