Tending God’s Garden: Presiding Bishop Eaton on Caring for Creation
Caring for creation is not just a boutique issue for the few, but a faith issue for all of us. As #COP26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference met in Glasgow, Scotland, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton reminds us that we are called to tend God’s garden and be good stewards of creation.
