Statement on the stewardship of creation

In the light of the teaching of Scriptures, the inspired counsels of E. G. White and the scientific data and reflections brought together in this Congress,

We commit ourselves:

To affirm our commitment to God the Creator within the context of our Christian mission, the Three Angels Message of Revelation 14 and daily Christian discipleship.

To affirm that full redemption includes the creation and therefore Christians should also manifest in their lives that their relation with nature has also been restored.

To recognize that the goal for ecology is the restoration of the Eden ideal, healing our fractured relationships with God, with ourselves, with each other and with nature.

To study and respect nature, the second book of God, in the light of the Bible, following the example of Jesus, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

To integrate the stewardship of nature in Christian education given at home, in the church, and in our schools to reach and inspire the next generations.

To preach and teach more about the care of Creation, including in our Bible studies and in our evangelistic meetings and in our every day lives.
