About Restoring Eden

www.restoringeden.org

Restoring Eden is a rapidly growing network of Christians working to become a grassroots movement within the church.  We are dedicated to empowering Christians to engage in faithful stewardship of the natural world as a biblical, moral, and wise value.

Our work can best be divided into three categories:

*Nature Appreciation

We encourage nature appreciation as a traditional spiritual discipline within the Christian church — a discipline sadly in need of rediscovery. As Christians, we need to learn to see the wisdom and goodness of God revealed in the created order around us. Scripture is full of examples of encounters with God occurring in the midst of the wonder of nature – from Abraham to Moses and from David to Jesus.

*Environmental Stewardship

When you appreciate something, you want to take care of it.  God’s creation is no different.  In our own lives, we can take can take care of what He has made by doing any number of things.  From recycling to bicycling, Restoring Eden is excited to share steps that households, churches, businesses, and schools can take to more lovingly steward creation.  We also facilitate practical service projects that directly benefit the creation and the indigenous peoples that rely on healthy natural resources.

*Public Advocacy

Restoring Eden focuses on advocating for marginalized groups.  We call it, “taking care of the least of these.” Working together, we can make your voice stronger by helping you speak out for those who can not speak for themselves or even add your voice to make other voices stronger.

Whether it is the inhabitants of small island nations that are disappearing due to climate change, the people of Appalachia being impacted by mountaintop removal, the unborn children impacted by pollution from coal plants, or critical ecosystems, Restoring Eden works to serve as an added voice for them in our modern political arena.
