Dear Members of the Lausanne Creation Care Network (LCCN),
As part of a "Creation Care Working Group" (CCWG) in Australia, I wish to share some materials with others in the hope they may be useful.
When the Lausanne Movement first asked people in their email list what their interests were, there was no box to tick that said "Creation Care." There was a box that said "Other" and allowed you to name an interest, so I ticked that box and wrote "Creation Care." I was glad to see subsequently that some 500 others throughout the world also said "Creation Care." From that came the Jamaica conference and an organised start was made for the existing LCCN.
Looking at the Jamaica Call to Action and at the various online comments relating to Creation Care, I have been searching to see roughly how many of the 500 or so evangelicals concerned about caring for the creation think, as I do, that Christians should take an interest in and responsibility for action on the global population.
There have been a couple of others with a concern for population and their comments have been very good. So here is the summary: Globally there are thousands in the Lausanne Movement, for which we thank God for Billy Graham and his teams of supporters over the past 50 years or so. Of these thousands there are 500 who have a stated interest in Creation Care. Of the 500 there are about 3 people world-wide who have a concern for human population numbers and the impact we have on the other species God created.
My first contribution to this small group is the following talk which is accessible on YouTube at youtu.be/p89Pv0laLRE
Your comments would be appreciated. My email is: nst332769@bigpond.com Thank you and God bless, NolaSTEWART
