"The church exists to communicate God's Word. We are ambassadors for Christ, and our mission is to evangelize the world...The task of evangelism is so important, Christ actually gave us five Great Commissions, in each of the gospels, and one in the book of Acts. In Matthew 28-19-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24: 47-49, John 20:21, and Acts 1:8 Jesus commissions us to go and tell the world the message of salvation." Rick Warren (1995). The purpose driven church. Zondervan.

Why should a parish concerned to baring the love of God to people put time and energy into caring for creation? God has put us here in this incredibly beautiful and complex world that he has made, to live in a loving relationship with him, the Creator. It follows that we have a responsibility towards creation. As God said to Adam and Eve, we are to till the earth and ‘care for it’.
