Recognizing that the Church community should take the lead in making manifest the ethos of the Church, the OIKOU Year of he Enviroment and Orthodox family makes a number of suggestions:
|
· initiating programs of Christian environmental education at all levels in your parish.
· involvement by parishes in local initiatives, such as organizing recycling programs, conserving energy in buildings, and encouraging environmentally friendly initiatives · holding educational gatherings covering fields from theology to environmental sciences, in order to aid the Church in further practical involvement in environmental and bioethical issues. These should involve Church members and non-Orthodox experts in scientific and ecological fields mobilizing Orthodox young people to initiate projects of environmental action. |
"the Church should offer once more this simple, yet fulfilled way of life to its own believers as well as to the wider world.
Humanity needs a simpler way of life, a renewed asceticism, for the sake of creation."
