ABSTRACT

In this paper, I revisit the classic biblical texts pertaining to the doctrine of creation. Foremost are the two creation narratives in the books of Genesis and the Psalms. I then present the contemporary theological debate about the impending ecological crisis citing the reflections of selected theologians on ecological issues. After this, I share the emerging ecumenical consensus globally and locally among Catholics and Protestants. Then I highlight the UCCP statements on how we could cope with the “ecological nightmare.” Finally, I cite some peoples’ initiatives in Mindanao to protect the environment.
