WHAT IS THIS THING....?

     So you may be asking yourself right about now.... "why does Ark and Dove have a green blog?".  It is all about stewardship.  Too often, we only think about stewardship in terms of giving money.  In reality, stewardship is about managing all the resources that God has given us-- from our money, to our environment, to our time, and our resources.  As stated by the Presbyterian General Assembly, 
     "The love of neighbor, particularly "the least" of Christ's brothers and sisters, requires action to stop the poisoning, the erosion, the wastefulness that are causing suffering and death. The future of our children and their children and all who come after is at stake. In this critical time of transition to a new era, God's new doing may be discerned as a call to earth-keeping, to justice and to community. "


     Keeping this in mind, Ark and Dove has decided to take a more holistic view of stewardship that includes how we stand up for our environment and those around us.  We hope this blog to be first, a practical guide on caring for God's creation.  There are so many things we can do locally in our community that help the environment and we have a long list of topics that we would like to cover.  Second, we hope this blog to be a resource of interesting news and new thoughts about caring for others around the world.  How we spend our time and our efforts is equally important  when speaking of stewardship.
     If there are topics that you would like us to cover, drop us a comment on one of the posts.  If you are interested in writing a post, let us know as well-- we welcome any input.  We challenge you to check in on a regular basis, and even try some of the suggestions and resources that are offered.


Thanks.
