We base much of our approach to loving God and our neighbors in this world on our baptismal covenant. Yet our latest prayer book was written just a bit too early to include caring for creation among those explicit baptismal promises. I would invite you to explore those promises a bit more deeply -- where and how do they imply caring for the rest of creation?
Apparently a little foretaste of plans for the NEW IMPROVED BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER! coming our way. I look forward to the Trial Use books, which will not doubt include many prayers to "this earth, our island home". Isn't Eucharistic Prayer C enough to inflict on the faithful?
