Current Projects
Creation. It’s all around us. We walk through it in our parks. We enjoy the beauty of a sunset. We sit on the beach or climb a hill or plant flowers or fish in a stream. Creation flows throughout the Bible as it flows in the world around us. Somehow, however, we have missed the point of creation and our responsibility toward it. In an effort to help open the eyes of our fellow Baptists, metaphorically, Baptist Creation Care Initiative seeks $29,400 over one year to support the filming of 10 short vignettes on the effects of environmental chaos on people from around the country, including farmers, those who live in inner-city housing, migrant laborers, coastal communities, and Indigenous peoples.
About
The mission of Baptist Creation Care Initiative is to offer a distinctly Baptist voice of faith, enriched by science and action, and empowered by biblical insight and a love of creation. We strive to be a venue where Christians of many different traditions can discuss the place of both the Bible and science in our shared understanding of God’s wonderful creation.
