Expressing the Mind of the House on Climate and Our Vocation in Christ GC80

https://episcopalmaine.org/resources/expressing-the-mind-of-the-house-on-climate-and-our-vocation-in-christ/

A changing climate and degraded environment worsen conflict, forces human migration, and causes food insecurity.

People living in poverty are plunged further into poverty by the deteriorating condition of the planet.
