Introduction to the Guide & Resource

 

At the Center, we invite you to engage any section of this Guide at any given time. You don’t have to go in order from 1 to 9, although Earth section does, from our perspective, provide a good frame for engaging the rest of the resource.  As you explore the Guide, pay attention to a resounding aim of the original Faith for Earth: A Call to Action text this was based on – that of placing your learning into action. Use this in your community or classroom.  Use the question prompts.  Have conversations that matter for your location.  Consider new and meaningful ways for learning and engaging, and for drawing in others to learn with you as well. Be called into action to the gift of the world around us.  ~ Megan Anderson, Center Resource Creatives Designer
