Creation Care for Pastors

Dean Ohlman is a Christian nature writer for RBC Ministries and the publisher of the Our Daily Bread devotional, among other things. He was kind enough to share his Creation Care Resources for Pastors with me (placed under ‘Seminars, Study Guides & Education Downloads’ on the Resources page), as well as a brief article which will appear in the August issue of the Creation Care for Pastors Newsletter.

At 140 pages, the Resources for Pastors piece is quite a comprehensive work. The ‘Contents’ section found on page 2, however, is very useful for browsing the subjects covered. Subjects range from theological (e.g. The Marks of the Steward & The Meaning of Creation) to the creative and thought-provoking (e.g. People as ‘Tweeners). There are surely more interesting topics to be found as well; I simply haven’t had time to browse it all as of yet.

Be sure to check it out; I’m sure you can find not only personal enrichment, but thoughts and ideas that will move your church towards a more environmentally-friendly stance.

Every once in a while, I stumble a cross a great resource for pastors trying to find ways to get their congregations involved in creation care. One such resource is The Greener Good. They offer everything from canteens to jewlry to muscle rub, and everything in between. It’s worth checking out if you know someone interested in ‘green’ products, or as a resource to present to the church or small groups.
