Mission

To connect interfaith communities across Alaska to the tools and resources to serve as stewards of creation.

Why Serve as Stewards of Creation?

- Loving our Creator: Through whom and for whom creation was made and belongs -- including the waters, trees, creatures, and the one human family.

- Loving Creation: Creation embodies both the natural and humans orders, and the condition of one affects the other.

- Living the Golden Rule by Practicing the Green Rule _tm: The Golden Rule of loving one another and the Green Rule of caring for our environment, are two theological imperatives unifying all mainstream faith traditions. And one of the best ways to care for our brothers and sisters around the world is to be stewards of natural gifts of creation --  air, water, land, soil, fish, and wildlife!
