Serve and Preserve (Care for Creation: Laudato Si' in Action)
The promulgation of Laudato Si’ 10 years ago was a breath of fresh air, as we felt that the Holy Spirit, through Pope Francis, was confirming and deepening our conviction that the sustainable path was essential to the Christian life.
Welcome to Care for Creation: Laudato Si' in Action, a reflection series connecting us to our individual and collective call to ecological justice.
This reflection was written by Eric Fitts. Eric is the Executive Director of Bethlehem Farm, a Catholic community in Appalachia that transforms lives through serving with the local community and the teaching of sustainable practices. This reflection was narrated by Elise Gower, former associate director for Contemplative Leaders in Action.
