Timeless USCCB Energy Policy Statement Offers Guidance for Today

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Did you know that 31 years ago this month, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Social Development and World Peace (now called the Committee for Justice Peace and Human Development) issued a statement on energy?  In the midst of the energy crisis or that time, the bishops of that committee approved what continues to be a very prophetic and highly relevant statement on a variety of issues concerning the extraction, production, use of fossil fuel energy and the hope for renewable sources of energy.  In an era of climate change and current ongoing debates about our energy choices, we highly recommend that you read this document and apply its teaching to these debates.  To read the document online, click here.

New Toolkit for Colleges on Sustainability & Catholic Mission

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

(Sept. 6, 2011) As Catholic colleges and universities across the country begin a new school year, eight national Catholic organizations are publishing and promoting an exciting new resource, Sustainability and Catholic Higher Education: A Toolkit for Mission Integration.  This new resource will help schools strengthen ongoing commitments to  Catholic mission, to “cultivate and care for” (Genesis 2:15) God’s good gift of Creation,  to link these efforts to impacts on poor people at home and abroad and to develop sustainable campus communities.   Read more about it and all the co-sponsors in the Press Release here.  Download the Toolkit here.
