Greetings, friends! We would like to humbly invite you to consider participating in the OFT's newest program: A Reading a Day of statements by HAH Patriarch Bartholomew on creation care and stewardship! With this program, you will receive daily statements right to your inbox for 30 days to aid in your contemplation on what Creation Care means as a Christian (You are free to opt out at any time). ... Compiling this collection of the Patriarch's statements has been a great inspiration for us here at the OFT, and we believe that you will also gain wisdom from his words. To sign up, visit our website, orth-transfiguration.org. We are grateful for your support!

"We believe that the roots of the environmental crisis are not primarily economic or political, nor technological, but profoundly and essentially religious, spiritual and moral. This is because it is a crisis about and within the human heart. The ecological crisis reflects an anthropological impasse, the spiritual crisis of contemporary man and contradictions of his rationalism, the titanism of his self-deification, the arrogance of his science and technology, the greed of his possessiveness (the priority of having), his individual and social eudaemonism." -His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew
