About Us

For the Love of Creation is a national initiative that brings together faith bodies and faith-based organizations in Canada under a unified banner to mobilize education, reflection, action and advocacy for climate justice.

Our History

Canadian faith bodies and faith-based organizations have a long history of work in ecological conservation, environmental activism, and advocacy for climate justice. In 2019, a group of churches and faith-based organizations came together on a journey of reflection, dialogue, and discernment on how we could deepen our collective action on climate change and make a meaningful contribution to the climate movement in the next decade. For the Love of Creation was launched to mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in 2020.

Our Principles

Faith-based and Theologically Grounded

For the Love of Creation is open to all faith communities and faith-based organizations in Canada who wish to take meaningful action for climate justice.

Indigenous Self-Determination

For the Love of Creation recognizes that Indigenous peoples’ care of and relationship with the land, their experiences of resource extraction and climate change, and Indigenous rights, including the right to free, prior and informed consent, are central to climate justice. Indigenous knowledge and voices are integral to For the Love of Creation’s message.

Youth Empowerment

Young people have been at the forefront of the climate movement, strongly advocating for change from world leaders. For the Love of Creation listens to young people, partners with them, and amplifies their voices.

Endorsing Organizations

In addition to those that have formally endorsed, there are a number of other organizations and churches who have joined us on this journey of reflection, dialogue and discernment. We are grateful for their support and contributions.
