ABOUT US

Our Journey Towards Sustainability

Our Vision: "Promoting transformation of individuals and societies to live in right relationship with God’s creation."

We want to share our journey towards sustainability with you, and invite you to join us in grappling with the big ecological challenges of our time.

At the CAC, we have begun to look at what sustainability means and, more specifically, "What is ours to do?"

Some questions we are asking

• What can we do besides setting out our recycling at the curbside each week?
• Is it about "greening efforts" such as using "low flow" toilets and solar panels or swapping out those energy guzzling appliances?
• Can we install insulation and weatherizing devices to decrease energy loss?
• Could we ride bicycles and grow our food?
• What about daily consumption of water?
• And could we eat less or no meat—since cattle produce tons of methane gas at factory feedlots?

Living in right relationship with God’s creation

Right relationship means to us that we at the CAC are committing to more sensitivity to this earthly household we share and how we mindfully impact all living things. This means paying attention to how we share land, water and air with all creation and return it unsullied for this generation and seven generations hence.
