Who We Are
The Capital Region Interfaith Creation Care Coalition was formed in the spring of 2018 to bring together faith groups in the Capital Region of New York State. We currently have members from 26 different faith communities on our mailing list. Our members act independently from their congregations, but many work within their congregation to further preservation of the environment.

Our Mission Statement
Our Mission Statement
We make Care of Creation a central moral priority by working in solidarity to mitigate the climate emergency and to preserve and restore natural resources and biodiversity for present and future generations. We accomplish this in accordance with our values by educating ourselves and our faith communities, advocating for the environment, reducing our carbon and waste footprints, and adopting behaviors that will ensure the sustainability of life in all its diversity on Earth.

Our sympathy and prayers go out to those of the Catholic Church, on the death of Pope Francis. He was the most prominent religious leader in the world to speak out for the Environment and Climate Justice, and his passing will leave a huge vacancy in courageous moral leadership in the environment and many other issues. Read his Prayer for the environment HERE.
We at CRICCC accept the results of the 2024 election, but remain resolved to do what we can at the National, State, and Local levels to continue our mission. We can also consider changing our daily personal habits and lifestyle to better respect the Earth and the interdependent web of existence. Our congregations can do their part to use renewable energy, reduce waste, and advocate for the environment. Small efforts add up and increase consciousness.
