Creation Care - Learning and Doing - Saturday Sept. 10th


CREATION CARE SEMINAR

This coming weekend at Blakemore Church of the Nazarene (2800 Belcourt Ave. Nashville) there will be a Creation Care Seminare with Dr. Matthew Sleeth.


A decade ago, Matthew Sleeth was an ER doctor living out the American Dream when suddenly he and his wife Nancy were confronted by the powerful truth that the biggest problem facing humanity was environmental degradation. “If we don’t have clean air, clean water, and healthy soil to sustain life on earth, the other problems won’t really matter.” This profound realization spurred Matthew and his whole family to embark on a journey to a more simple and earth-friendly lifestyle. Matthew eventually quit his job, and together with Nancy, began the non-profit Blessed Earth (www.blessedearth.org.) Since then, the Sleeths have travelled the country speaking with churches, educational, media, and environmental groups about the benefits and blessings of caring for our environment. In addition to their speaking, Nancy has authored Go Green, Save Green and Matthew has written Serve God, Save the Planet as well as The Gospel According to the Earth. Their daughter Emma is the author of It’s Easy Being Green.
