Anglican Communion Environmental Network
Anglican Communion Environmental Network - Home Page
"In many parts of the world local Anglican Churches have given leadership:
* by being advocates for responsible environmental stewardship
* by providing support & leadership to local initiatives to protect the environment
* by seeking to educate Anglicans as individuals and as communities to become better stewards of creation.
In 1998 the bishops gathered at Lambeth expressed their concern that efforts to address such issues be given greater visibility and be better coordinated across the Anglican Communion. The Network is an attempt to do just that. After some initial work following ACC-11 in Dundee (1999), the Network received recognition as an official network of the Anglican Communion at ACC-12 in Hong Kong (2002)."

Care for Creation on top of list of concerns for interfaith Campaign
"As Canada prepares to host the G8 and G20 meetings in Huntsville and Toronto June 25-27, Anglicans are encouraged to help organize or participate in interfaith dinners with their Member of Parliament. The idea is simple: before June 20, together with people of other faiths in your neighbourhood, arrange a dinner with your MP where the topic of discussion will be three global concerns: poverty, care of creation and peace"
