Prayer resource from the Eco-Justice Program
"The slow-motion tragedy of the gulf oil spill lays bare our collective failure as caretakers of God's good creation," says a helpful new prayer resource from the Eco-Justice Program office of the National Council of Churches. In the face of our grief and uncertainty, the flyer offers ways to "turn to the One who is certain - the One whose creative and recreating power is stronger than any of our human folly." It also has facts about the gulf, oil exploration and other resources. View the two-page flyer.
