God created humans in His image, and gave us the responsibility to care for creation as He would. What an overwhelming task! The Truth is that changing light bulbs, while a good start, simply is not enough to restore balance to the creation. We must work in concert – group by group, congregation by congregation, community by community, and nation by nation to restore the creation. After all, the Bible calls us to communal action in the matter of stewardship. We must work together on a large scale. (Rebekah Simon-Peter, Green Church, 2010).
