God's Creation Renewed: A call to hope and action
At its November meeting, the United Methodist Council of Bishops issued a call to all United Methodists to change our way of being in the world to effect a change in the world. Pandemic poverty and disease, environmentla degradation and a world full of weapons and violance are the wages of our sins against God's creation. But there is hope if we chagne our ways, the 69 United Methodist bishops said in a pastoral letter the council asked to be read in churches during Advent. The letter is found on a special website for this initiative at www.hopeandaction.org.
Churches can continue the conversation during Lent with a Bible study. The Bible study can be downloaded from the Hope and Action website.
