We have listed reasons as to why people should care for the environment – but what
about Christians?
Christians would agree with the reasons we have already
listed but unlike non-religious people they believe there are further reasons to care for the
environment and help with environmental issues.
Some Christians may join organisations that work to
help the environment. (SEE HOMEWORK TASK FOR

STEWARDSHIPRESPONSIBILITY
AUTHORITY/DOMINIONCREATION
Write down what you think each of these words mean.

Christians and the environment...
Looking after something so it
can be passed on to the next generation.
Having a duty to do or be held
accountable for something.
The power or right of governing and
controlling.
The act of creating the universe.
STEWARDSHIP:Humans are looking after the earth for God –
they are temporary keepers and so must ensure they return it in the condition God would want.
AUTHORITY/DOMINION:Humans are in charge of the natural world.
Some see this as meaning they can therefore do as they want with the world
as it belongs to them.
RESPONSIBILITY:God has given human beings the gift of
the world and they have a duty to ensure it is passed on to future generations.
CREATION:God created the world and everything in it
– humans must therefore show respect and protect God’s creation.
