Baptist Peacemaker Highlights Churches’ Care of Creation Work

December 8, 2012 by George Reed, Former Executive Director

A recent article in the Baptist Peacemaker focuses on what churches are doing to address creation care and global climate change. In addition to mentioning our NC Interfaith Power & Light program, it features four North Carolina congregations with ties to the NC Council of Churches:

•Myers Park Baptist, Charlotte – one of the Council’s eight member congregations

•Pullen Memorial Baptist, Raleigh – another of the Council’s member congregations

•Park Road Baptist, Charlotte – affiliated with one of the Council’s member bodies, the NC Alliance of Baptists, and co-pastored by Council Board member Russ Dean.

•Wedgwood Baptist, Charlotte, also affiliated with the Alliance of Baptists

I commend the article to you, along with the great work being done by these congregations. May their tribe increase.

–George Reed, Executive Director

About George Reed, Former Executive Director

As I had hoped, I have spent more time reading books in my retirement. One recent read was Jon Meacham’s splendid biography of Thomas Jefferson. I resonated with something TJ wrote in a letter shortly after leaving the White House in 1809: “I am here [at Monticello] enjoying the ineffable luxury of being owner of my own time.” I can’t say that I am complete owner of my time, but I am really enjoying not being controlled by clock and calendar. Well, except when there’s a deadline for Raleigh Report.
