I am a member of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Seattle, WA, assisting our pastor in preparing a liturgy for Earth Sunday, which we will celebrate on April 30 this year. St. Andrew’s has had an Earth Sunday for many years, and in 2017 we used a Statement of Faith for Earth Day which came from the Web of Creation website as a replacement for the Creed. Our pastor has requested I seek copyright permission to print it again in our church bulletin for Earth Sunday.
I could not find this Statement of Faith on the current site, so I have copied it below. We would display it exactly as it was in 2017:
Statement of Faith for Earth Day
We believe that God creates all things,
renews all things, and celebrates all things
We believe earth is a sanctuary,
a sacred planet filled with God’s presence,
a home for us to share with our kin.
We believe that God became flesh and blood,
And became a part of earth, a human being called Jesus Christ,
who lived and breathed and spoke among us, suffered and died on the cross,
for all human beings and for all creation.
We believe that the risen Jesus is the Christ at the core of creation
reconciling all things to God, renewing all creation, and filling the universe.
We believe that with Christ we will rise
And with Christ we will celebrate a new creation.
From the Web of Creation, a Lutheran Ministry, 2017.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you have any objections to our using it again this year. Thank you for your attention. The website below is not my personal website, it is the church website.
