State of the Planet


"The state of the planet is: broken."--UN secretary general this morning.

The planet is burning.

The planet is freezing.

The planet is drowning.

The planet is asphyxiating.

The planet is poisoned.

Humanity must turn away from its headlong course of environmental suicide.

What humanity has brought about, humanity can also help to heal.

The primary task of humanity for this century is to heal its relationship with the rest of nature.

That was the message this morning in the 'state of the planet' address by the UN secretary general.

What can we as churches, as people of God, do to bring healing to the planet?
