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.
The God Given Freedom to Choose Life
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: Love your neighbor as yourself. If you bite and devour each...
Earth Care Champions: PBS FRONTLINE
If you live in a big city, rural area, or small island state, if you invest in the stock market, if you care about justice, about children’s futures I'm appealing directly to you: Demand renewable energy. Demand an end to coal-fired power & fossil fuel subsidies....
Earth Care Champions: Grand Trees of Chatham
“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” - Psalm 96:11-12 I love the Psalmist’s vision of all creation, heaven and...
Earth Care Champions: Friends of the Lower Haw River State Natural Area
To find the second worthy organization in our ‘Earth Care Champions’ series, we’re going down by the riverside once again. A close ally of our first honoree, the Haw River Assembly, is an all-volunteer group of citizens dedicated to supporting the Lower Haw River...
YOUR evangelism IS TOO small
What in God’s green earth does Christian ‘evangelism’ have to do with creation justice? And why, when there is so much else to tackle in this time of climate crisis, pestilence, social upheaval, culture wars and rumors of war is ‘evangelism’ the subject of this...
Earth Care Champions: Haw River Assembly
“Rivers flow not past, but through us; tingling, vibrating, exciting every cell and fiber in our bodies, making them sing and glide.“ - John Muir As a young boy, before I ever experienced romantic feelings for a girl (or even knew I someday would), I had a love affair...
Envisioning & Investing in a Green Future (Renewed Creation)

EARTH EMERGENCY
If I had my ‘druthers’ at the start of a new year of Creation Justice blogging… I ‘druther’ be spinning tales about the great progress humanity has made over the past year/s in turning our Mother-ship Earth around from the chaotic climate course we’ve set her on. I...
The Winter (Solstice) of Our Discontent, & Here Comes the Sun
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” The title of that old Holiday favorite crooned by Andy Williams rings true for me today, but not for any of the reasons expounded in the lyrics. For me the most wonderful time of the year rang in at exactly 10:59 EST this...
Tipping the scales for the common good
My telephone rang yesterday morning, and as is my habit, I checked the caller ID before answering. The screen revealed that the call originated from Glasgow. What?! My heart skipped a beat. My eyes and ears had been on Glasgow and the United Nations Climate Summit...
