Green Awakenings 2011 |
|
Renewal is pleased to present Green Awakenings: Digging Deeper
.jpg)
Building on the success on Renewal's initial report, Green Awakenings: Stories of Stewardship and Sustainability from the Next Generation, which was released in 2010, we set out to research more on the creation initiatives at Christian colleges and universities throughout the US and Canada.
This year's report seeks to answer the following questions:
What does it take to motivate a Christian campus toward environmental stewardship?
What are the most common barriers that prevent Christian campuses from thriving in terms of environmental stewardship?
From the introduction:
Renewal's 2011 report, Green Awakenings: Digging Deeper explores the conditions that lead to the sucess or failure of creation care initiatives on Christian campuses.
Green Awakenings: Digging Deeper outlines ways to focus your efforts to target the most important assests, build on your group's pre-existing strengths, and overcome barriers.
We hope the report inspires and instructs you as you seek to live out your love for God by actively caring for all that he has made.

Highlights from the Day of Prayer |
|
Here are a few highlights from around the country regarding Renewal's recent Day of Prayer.
Each school took the idea of praying for water and made it uniquely their own.
Katie Jantzen at Eastern Mennonite University (VA) writes:
We began with an introduction about the importance of water, had a prayer time for international, national, and local issues, and closed with a song. I think it went well, and it was nice to take time out of the day to stop and think about these issues, as well as how blessed we are to have adequate water.
Tim Vande Brake at Roberts Wesleyan College (NY) writes:
We were fortunate to have a RWC grad in the area who has worked with the Ugandan Water Project. He was our primary speaker. The college Chaplain and the Dean of Northeastern Seminary (which is on the RWC campus) as well as a student representative of the Ecology Club helped plan the service.
Leah Kelley at Michigan State University (MI) writes:
We had hot chocolate, two of our members shared their environmental/spiritual testimonies, we prayed, and then sang worship. We also made wrap bracelets by sewing thin strips of fabric together, and sold those for donations to Living Water, the non-profit that gives clean water to those who need, in the name of Jesus!
Sarah McCormack at Wheaton College (IL) writes:
We decided to have a Taize service using the language of the liturgy we had written. We had students from the conservatory play the music and art students from the group ISOTA create a craft station so that people could worship through art and water. |
