Affirmations / Covenants / Doxologies
Vern BarnetI pledge allegiance to the earth and all life
I pledge allegiance to the earth and all life:the fields and streams, the mountains and seas,
the forests and deserts, the air and soil,
all species and reserves, habitats and environments;
one world, one creation, one home, indivisible for all,
affected by pollution anywhere, depleted by any waste,
endangered by greedy consumption, degradation by faithlessness;
preserved by recycling, conservation, and reverence,
the great gift renewed for all generations to come.
protected, preserved by reducing, reusing, recycling.
With conservation and reverence,
the great gift renewed for all generations to come.
