Renewing the Sacred Balance
Renewing the Sacred Balance through National & Global Campaigns
Renewing the Sacred Balance also requires coordinated action both across Canada and around the globe. Here you will find some sample initiatives that enable you to join with others working to protect & heal our precious planet.
The Earth Charter Initiative
The Earth Charter is the product of nearly a decade of worldwide, cross-cultural conversations aimed a finding a synthesis of values and principles to guide the creations of a truly sustainable human society. For peoples of different faiths and cultures, the Charter can serve as a wonderful starting point to reflect together on the ethical vision needed to renew the sacred balance of our planet.
A wide number of resources exist to animate work and reflection on the Earth Charter. Gather up some of these, plan a gathering of people in local faith communities, and reflect on how the wisdom of different faith traditions can deepen and enrich the ethical framework provided by the Earth Charter.
