Church on Earth: Grounding Your Ministry in a Sense of Place
By Peter Bakken and Jeff Wild
What difference does environment make in a congregation's life and mission? A world of difference if understood and embraced, according to the authors of Church on Earth: Grounding Your Ministry in a Sense of Place. Focusing on the congregation as place and unique nexus for cultivating spiritual, social, and ecological relationships ¬ has implications for the shape of a congregation's particular identity and vocation; for how it embodies and proclaims the Gospel in worship, education, evangelism, and service. A sense of place offers new possibilities for connecting Word and Sacrament more intimately and integrally with the daily life of parishioners and for enriching the congregation's outreach to the surrounding community and world. Concrete examples for what this means in a particular congregation are provided from the experience of Madison Christian Community, an innovative ecumenical partnership of Advent Lutheran Church (ELCA) and Community of Hope (UCC) in Madison, Wisconsin.

Union for Concerned Scientists/Ecological Society of America report on "Confronting Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region: Impacts on Our Communities and Ecosystems," a comprehensive study by a team of leading scientists from Midwest universities and Canada concludes that climate change in the Great Lakes region caused by heat-trapping gases from human activities could lead to a 5-12 degree Fahrenheit temperature increase in winter and 5-20 degree warming in summer by the end of this century. These changes could bring more floods and droughts, lower lake levels and less lake ice cover, increased burdens on farmers, and growing conflicts over water use. The scientists say climate change will likely also magnify existing health and environmental problems in the region. However, the report concludes that actions can be taken now to forestall many of the most severe impacts.
