(1) Celebrate Earth Day!

As Unitarian Universalists prepare to observe Earth Day on April 22, and
many UU congregations mark Earth Day Sunday on April 23, 2006, we
recognize that we are called by our Principles to live in right
relationship with the web of life. Across the country, Unitarian
Universalists have joined with other people of faith to make personal,
congregational, and denominational commitments to support our fragile
planet. 

Reflecting on the need to honor our planet on Earth Day and in our daily
lives, the Rev. William G. Sinkford, UUA President said, "This earth is
a creation which we have been given. Our Unitarian Universalist theology
helps us know that our role is not to exercise dominion or control over
the earth but to stand as stewards of the finely balanced system which
sustains all life. We call this the interdependent web of existence. We
watch with anguish as this delicate web is damaged and life itself
threatened by changes to our environment caused by our presence."
