Good Faith wishes to thank our production partner on this series of episodes,

the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, supporting inclusive higher education and health care,

vibrant spiritual communities, and a clean environment.

The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, investing in our common future.

There was a document that came out called the Cakedown Commitment, and that came Foundations, investing in our common future.

There was a document that came out called the Cakedown Commitment.

And that came out of the Lausanne World Congress.

Lausanne is sort of like the United Nations of Missionaries.

It's all missionaries in the world gathered together about once every 10 years,

and they put out these big statements.

It's where we got the 1040 window, Unreached People groups, started by Billy Graham. The Cape Town commitment specifically listed climate change as being

of equal urgency as poverty in terms of global needs today. So, and this is put out by missionaries

and only missionaries. So if you have the world's missionaries coming together and saying

climate change is equally important as poverty, maybe we should set our polarization aside

and sit up and listen to what these missionaries around the Good Faith podcast. I'm your host, Curtis Chang. The Good Faith podcast is we're friends who follow Jesus, help each other make sense of the world.

It's a production of a nonpartisan 501C3 organization.

Good Faith is doing a three episode series on Christians and climate change.

Spread over a couple of months, these episodes examine what it means for followers

of Jesus to care for God's creation. A key partner in this series is Ben Lowe, executive

director of A.Rosha USA. Arocha USA is a leading organization helping Christians and churches engage in caring for creation as part of their discipleship and witness.

Ben, welcome back to the Good Faith podcast.

Great to be back with you, Curtis.
