Recognizing Responsibility for the Climate Crisis
Queries*
We share the DNA structure of all life on Earth. The atoms in our bodies have circulated throughout the network of living and non-living forms making up the universe. Much of what we do, directly or indirectly, leaves the natural world damaged. Do you accept your responsibility for minimizing this damage?
We are called upon to recognize that we face a crisis of climate change and environmental destruction, and we need to create a more sustainable future for our planet. In responding to this challenge through our actions, we are able to restate our concern for the unity of all creation. Whatever form your response takes, are you led by an awareness of the sacred duty placed on every one of us to care for the Earth and all living things?
Do not be discouraged by shortcomings of the past or daunted by the task. Engage prayerfully and seek to discern where our service lies.

SEG provides an opportunity for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings on a variety of spiritually related topics. I has the added benefit that we can hear each other's ideas outside the Silence of Meeting.
