Creation Care - "Earth's Custodians" with Heather Toney

from The Weight · host Oxford University United Methodist Church

God’s creation is a direct reflection of God’s glory, and Christians are called to be faithful stewards of the earth. While global issues of climate and environment can seem out of reach, our local communities give us space to learn and take action in small and large ways. How can we partner with our creator to build a better, more sustainable living environment? What simple, practical changes can we make to responsibly care for our local communities and our world?Chris and Eddie are joined by Heather McTeer Toney, an activist, speaker, and author who serves as the National Field Director for Moms Clean Air Force. Toney is the former two term mayor of Greenville, Mississippi, and she was appointed by President Obama as the Regional Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Southeast Region. During her tenure as mayor, Toney observed the many connections between infrastructure, inequality, and the environment. She has enthusiastically championed her communities to ensure equitable access and a sustainable future for all. Toney speaks to the collaborative nature of creation care, the relationship between her upbringing and her heart for justice, her experiences with environmental challenges in the Mississippi Delta, and the responsibility that God has given each of us to this earth. Follow Heather Toney on the web:https://www.heathermcteertoney.com Learn more about Moms Clean Air Force here:https://www.momscleanairforce.org Learn more about Environmental Defense Fund here:https://www.edf.org Follow Heather Toney on social media:https://www.facebook.com/heathermcteer https://twitter.com/HeatherMcTeer
