CREATION JUSTICE BLOG
Pittsboro Presbyterian Church
WELCOME to the Creation Justice blog, managed by the Creation Justice Team of Pittsboro Presbyterian Church. We are a small group with a BIG concern about the fate of all God’s creatures, great and small, in this new era of human domination of our common home, planet Earth.
Measuring up to the environmental justice challenge
"The opportunity for a gradual but complete break with our destructive environmental history and a new beginning is at hand.... We can measure up to the challenge if we have the will to do so — that is the only question. I am optimistic that this generation will have...
Tilling and Keeping the “Garden of Delight”
It is time to turn another page on the calendar. No fooling, it’s already April 1st. That means “springtime” has now been with us for well over a week. The first day of spring, the Vernal (new/fresh) Equinox (equal night) arrived in my part of the planet this year at...
Accenting JUSTICE within the Eco-Justice Blog
Ta Da! Drum roll, please! We have recently learned that our congregation has earned re-certification as a PC(U.S.A.) Earth Care Congregation (ECC) for 2021. To become and remain an ECC, congregations earn points each year in the areas of Worship, Education, Facilities...
Biology and Human Rights
What’s wrong with this picture? The image introducing this blog post is from a human anatomy and physiology course lecture at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. It is a rather typical photo that might be taken at any college campus. Typical, that is, except for the...
Good Grief
“The day will come when the memory of the loved one you lost will bring a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye. It will come. I promise you. My prayer for you though is that day will come sooner rather than later. And that’s when you know you’re going to be...

Black History Month
If it’s February it must be Black History Month. But why… and so what? Why is February designated as Black History Month? Moreover, why do we have a Black History Month at all? And finally, what might we do this month to make black history a meaningful part of our...
Climate Day at the White House
January 27 was a day of liberation for climate science. After being held hostage and muzzled for four years, the reality of climate change and the crisis it is inflicting upon all life on planet earth, our common home, was brought to center stage under the spotlight...
Seeking Holy Unity of the Spirit
“I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of...
High Noon on the Western Front
Today at high noon (EST) on the western front of the Capitol building a battered and beleaguered democracy that has survived a near death experience will have its day. Today at high noon on the western front of the Capitol building with the after shocks from the...

Seeing the Forest for the Trees
“The death of the forest is the end of our life.” ~ Sister Dorothy Stang Today is national Arbor Day. So take a deep breath. Hold it, and take a moment to think about where that life-giving oxygen came from. Then as you exhale carbon dioxide, give thanks for the...
The Gospel of Love & Grace vs The Gospel of Hate & Fear
"I have decided to stick with love...hate is too great a burden to bear." ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is rare that posts on this blog appear but a couple of days apart. However, a coincidence of two very different events that took place this week on January 15...
Civil Obedience and the Bill of Obligations
“Nobody is born in this country with genes that somehow understand and internalize what a democracy is, why it’s valuable, what’s expected of them as a citizen; we’ve gotta teach them. But we’re not teaching it. We are failing to pass on the culture, the political...
