Short term study for teens, Burst: Green Church, deals with care for creation and environmental stewardship. It teaches youth that caring for the environment—reducing waste, using less water and energy, making responsible use of resources, and so on—is an act of faith. Burst: Green Church teaches the “6 Rs.” They are: - Repent
- Reclaim
- Reduce
- Reuse
- Recycle
- Rejoice
This structure is based on the work of Rev. Rebekah Simon-Peter, author of Seven Simple Steps to Green Your Church, and an environmental scientist/naturalist-turned-UM elder who has traveled the country helping congregations go green. |
