The Uniting Church’s monthly newpaper “Journey: The Uniting Church in Australia Queensland Synod” for June 2011 has a strong theme of Sustaining Creation. It is full of articles calling the church members to consider and act on climate change and peak oil matters.
The articles are deep and reflective and well put-together. I encourage you to read it. [url=http://www.journeyonline.com.au]Journey June 2011[/url]
