The Earth-Honoring Faith committee, honoring the love God has for all creation, is:

• committed to a faith-filled call to action;
• seeks to educate our community;
• advocates for sound climate policy; and
• implements practices necessary for the health of our planet.

The committee is part of a wider Cape Cod effort. The CCCCC was started in 2016 in response to climate disruptions observed on Cape Cod and the world at large. It is constituted by eight economic and institutional sectors—one of which is Faith Communities. As a result of that organizing, Faith Communities Environmental Network (FCEN) was developed to help “educate residents about the causes and impacts of climate change, the Cape and Islands Net Zero Goals and priority action steps for achieving the Goals.”

FCEN meets monthly and shares what the various churches on Cape Cod are doing and what has worked and not worked. Some actions to date include: Earth-honoring studies within churches, educational programs for churches and their wider community, Earth Day programs, placement of solar panels on churches, elimination of plastic products in churches, homes and communities, earth-friendly gardening practices and eating practices, among many others.
