In 1989, Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I declared 1 September as a day of prayer
for the care of creation. In the following years, other Christian World Communions endorsed this initiative and today many churches in the ecumenical family observe
the “Season of Creation” (also known as Creation Time) between 1 September and
4 October, which many mark as the Feast of St Francis of Assisi.
For the Lutheran communion, this liturgical season of prayer and action is an
opportunity to affirm LWF’s commitment to address a central crisis of our time—
climate change. Echoing our governing body decisions since 1977, the Twelfth
LWF Assembly affirmed “that the global ecological crisis, including climate change,
is human-induced. It is a spiritual matter. As people of faith, we are called to live
in right relationship with creation and not exhaust it.”
