GUEST PREACHER
Our guest preacher for May 13, 2007 is Rev. Peter Sawtell, Executive Director of Eco-Justice Ministries, an independent, ecumenical agency that helps churches answer the call to care of God's creation, and develop ministries that are faithful, relevant and effective in working toward social justice and environmental responsibility.
He offers this short definition of eco-justice:
"Thou shalt not exploit what God has made." It is the seed for a large number of useful guidelines and strategies offered to churches wishing to preserve the integrity of God's creation.
Rev. Sawtell founded Eco-Justice Ministries after serving the UCC's Rocky Mountain Conference as volunteer Eco-Justice Coordinator. He has served UCC congregations in Iowa, Massachusetts and Colorado, and worked as a business and computer programming consultant for small businesses and non-profit agencies.
At the 2007 CT UCC Conference Annual Meeting on May 12, 2007, Rev. Sawtell was the keynote speaker. He spoke on the ethical and spiritual necessity of living in ways that are more gentle to the Earth.
