Who We Are

Mennonite Creation Care Network (MCCN) is a bi-national Christian organization affiliated with the Mennonite Church USA and the Mennonite Church Canada. Our focus is the Mennonite “household”—especially its congregations—but we welcome anyone who wishes to be part of a faith-based network of people engaged in caring for creation. Click the verbs to see the goals below in action.

MCCN encourages the Church to:

Claim its biblical and theological foundation for the care of God’s Creation.              
Discover the ties that link all created beings to each other and to God.

Confess the harm we have caused the natural world and our neighbors.

Act faithfully to restore the earth.

General Secretary of Mennonite Church Canada Reports on United Nations Forum on Climate Change

Willard Metzger, the General Secretary of Mennonite Church Canada, attended the United Nations Forum on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa, November 28 to December 9. He reports on his experiences in his blog at http://willardmetzger.blogspot.com/

The blog describes heart-rending scenes between Canadian politicians and disillusioned youth calling for action; it mourns Canada’s decision to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol. Metzger calls each of us to re-evaluate our consumption and to speak forcefully to our politicians. “As politicians, they need a platform of unmistakable public opinion in order to provide the leadership we are requesting,” he says.

A laundry line of environmental confessions hangs below. The water wagon in the photo above right is also from the Canadian assembly. MC Canada rented water on wheels to avoid using bottled water which is shipped further and creates plastic waste.
