Abstract/Summary:
Christians have the power to make significant changes in the world; if Christians were to embrace the responsibility to care for Creation, then they can have a great impact in improving the state of the natural world. Current resources available to Christian educators, however, are lacking. New resources are needed to engage Christian audiences and to encourage environmental literacy and stewardship. This project developed a guide for Christian educators, which is based a conceptual framework for adapting environmental education curriculum resources for Christians audiences. This guide will help Christian educators to develop activities that increase environmental literacy and likelihood of stewardship in their audiences. The framework is drawn from the spectrum of beliefs Christians hold about Creation and the ways they have participated in environmental efforts historically.
