The UCA’s commitment to the environment arises out of the Christian belief that God,\u202fas the Creator of the universe, calls us into a special relationship with the creation – a relationship\u202fof mutuality and interdependence which seeks the reconciliation of all creation with God.<\/p>\n
We\u202fbelieve that God’s will for the earth is renewal and reconciliation, not destruction by human\u202fbeings. The foundational document of the Uniting Church in Australia, the Basis of Union,\u202fexpressed this as the very heart of the Church’s mission:<\/p>\n
“God in Christ has given to all people in the Church the Holy Spirit as a pledge and\u202fforetaste of that coming reconciliation and renewal which is the end in view for the whole\u202fcreation. The Church’s call is to serve that end.”<\/p>\n
