"In today’s cluttered, noisy, polluted world, we need places and ways the human spirit can be refreshed, inspired, and edified. Each of us can participate in caring for the earth with which God has blessed us..It is my prayer that we—along with people of faith across the globe—can achieve our goals of creating hopeful pathways forward as we together offer and seek peace, people, and planet through faith, hope, and goodwill."
