The incorrect version was published. The following changes have been made to the online version of this article. The changes are listed below and highlighted in the text itself with corresponding footnotes.
Footnote1
The original text read: “Despite church position statements having been written by a few mainline church entities, these fall short of fostering long-term active engagement and advocacy. For example, these denominations have crafted creation care position statements: (1) the Evangelical Lutheran Church of American, (2) the Wesleyan Church, (3) Presbyterian Church of America, and (4) the United Methodist Church.”
The text now reads: “A few mainline church entities, such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the Wesleyan Church, the Presbyterian Church of America, and the United Methodist Church, have crafted creation care position statements.”
Footnote2
The original text read: “Conversely, how can Christian school education and the church become mobilizing agents in creation care, so typified by Saint Francis of Assisi (1982), whose Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon praised God for creation, and by missionary doctor and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer (1998), who personified a “reverence for life” through his life work (pp. 155 -159)?”
The text now reads: “Mobilizing Christian schools and the church to activate creation care values and practices must become a priority.”
Footnote3
The original text read: “Ways to turn the tide so that Christian schools and the church contribute to creation care include four main areas: (1) awareness, (2) education, (3) value formation, and (4) changed practices.”
The text now reads: “How can Christian school education and the church become mobilizing agents in creation care, so typified by Saint Francis of Assisi (1982), whose Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon praised God for creation, and by missionary doctor and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer (1998), who personified a “reverence for life” through his work (pp. 155-159)? Likewise, if creation care must be “woven into every Christian’s stewardship value, theology, commitment, and practice” (Chandler, 2014, p. 225) and if “earthkeeping is integral to Christian discipleship” (Bouma-Prediger, 2010, p. xii), then Christian schools and the church can mobilize by focusing on four main areas: (1) awareness, (2) education, (3) value formation, and (4) changed practices.”
