Who Is Your Earth
Care Hero?
Do you know anyone who
has coordinated energy upgrades at their church, or used artistic talent to help
form an art collective of
liturgical arts for worship and creation? Do you know of an organization that partnered with 10 Presbyterian congregations to
be a constant presence on the issue of creation care, sustainability and intentional
stewardship? These two individuals and one organization have received annual PEC Awards in the past.
Presbyterians and other
people of faith across the country are taking remarkable actions to show how
much they care for God’s creation. Presbyterians for Earth Care is pleased to
honor those individuals and churches/organizations that are making a positive
difference with our Annual Awards, both to thank them and to inspire others to
take similar actions. We invite you to make
a nomination by Saturday, March 31
for PEC’s 2018 awards that will be presented at the PEC Luncheon on June 19 at
General Assembly in St. Louis, Missouri.
Members of or donors to
Presbyterians for Earth Care are entitled to make nominations. If you aren’t
already a PEC member, you can join
or make a donation now. However, an individual does not need to be a Presbyterian
to be nominated for an award.
You may nominate individuals for the William Gibson Eco-Justice Award or
the Emerging Earth Care Leader Award (for 18-30 year olds). Congregations,
governing bodies, ecumenical agencies, and Presbyterian-related entities may be
nominated for the Restoring Creation Award. The qualifications for each of these
awards are on our website.
If you know of a worthy and
creative individual or church/organization, you are invited to make
a nomination online. Take a look
at our previous award winners to get an idea of who would be a worthy nominee.
You may also mail in a nomination form to PEC, PO Box
9064, Asheville, NC 28815. Nominations
close on March 31.
PEC is grateful for your care of God’s creation and for
contemplating an individual or organization that deserves to be honored for
their good stewardship of our common home.
