Sacred Creation: Justice Flows Down Like Water, a Presbyterians for Earth Care Conference hosted at beautiful Ferncliff Camp & Conference Center, with the option to participate virtually. Grounded in our faith and the biblical vision of justice flowing like a mighty stream, this conference invites us to explore the sacredness of water—as a gift from God, a source of life, and a call to justice. Through worship, workshops, and community connection, we’ll engage the urgent need to protect water, advocate for equitable access, and renew our commitment to caring for all creation.
Protecting Sacred Lands for Culture, Climate and Justice
Webinar Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2025
Time: 7:30 pm EDT (6:30 CDT, 5:30 MDT, 4:30 PDT)
Presenters: Tara Benally, Travis Hammill, Jenny Holmes
Most people describe their experience of the deep river canyons, spectacular mesas and deserts of the colorful redrock country of Southern Utah as sacred. There is no landscape on earth like the awe-inspiring heart of the Colorado Plateau in Utah. And, it is one of the most threatened area of our national public lands in the US, including proposals for public land sell offs to private interests, rampant off road vehicle use, and mining, oil and gas development. Will people of faith act in solidarity before it is too late? Hear directly from a Tribal member and organizer, Tara Banelly, about the meaning and significance of these lands to Tribes. Learn why Congressional support from throughout the US is essential to protecting these national public lands in Utah and throughout the West from sell-offs and short-term exploitative use from Travis Hammill, DC Director for Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. Jenny Holmes, of the PEC Advocacy Committee will share about the 2024 Presbyterian Church, USA policy to protect and restore Utah’s wild lands and National Monuments – Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante, and actions everyone can take to make a difference.

WHAT WE DO
I Corinthians 4:1 Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Presbyterians for Earth Care (PEC) invites individuals and congregations to participate in the growing earth care movement within the PC(USA). PEC is a national eco-justice network that cares for God’s creation by connecting, equipping, and inspiring Presbyterians to make creation care a central concern of the church.
Presbyterians for Earth Care cares for God’s Creation by:
Connecting members through a grassroots network of people seeking to keep the sacred at the center of earth care, advocacy and action both inside and outside the walls of the church.
Equipping members with resources, ideas and information for a shared journey toward a healthier planet by growing and sharing theological understandings and perspectives on eco-justice issues.
Inspiring members through stories of individuals and groups who have responded to the sacred call to care for the earth – stories told person to person at events, and by newsletter, email, social media and devotions.
Presbyterians for Earth Care was formerly called Presbyterians for Restoring Creation.
