Hope for All Creation

Description

Hope for All Creation presents a theological vision by which members of the Church of England might think, reflect and act in response to the current environmental crises, in partnership with other denominations and all people of good will. Drawing on a rich history of Anglican theological reflection on the environment, it takes forward this tradition to inform the Church of England’s care for creation. It does so at a time when humanity’s disruption of the Earth seems on the threshold of the catastrophes earlier reports warned of. It also seeks to deepen the Church’s vision of creation and human responsibility and to articulate more fully God’s reconciliation of all things in Christ and the hope for the redemption and renewal he provides. Finally, it offers a vision of how Christians can seek to live in a reconciled relationship with other creatures in the light of this hope and integrate this fully into Christian mission and discipleship. Hope for All Creation is a teaching document from the House of Bishops of the Church of England and features a Foreword by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.
