Amendment 52 to Article II - Proposed by John Millspaugh

[klsteb2 (Kara Stebbins)]

To quote a friend who attends my congregation every week, this amendment keeps us “as protectors with the power to run the planet; I would go for more of a downgrade to being equal and living sustainably with the planet and each other.”

I personally think Amendment #69 has less of the “powerful protector” flavor my friend objects to:

@Poster1

Interdependence. We honor the interdependent web of all existence.
We covenant to cherish Earth and all [beings] living things by creating and nurturing relationships of care and respect. With humility and reverence, we acknowledge our place in the great web of life, and we work to repair past harm and [damaged relationships] to live sustainably in the future.
