Christianity and Sustainability: Bishop Speaks on Christian Ecology

Christian teachings have long emphasized humanity’s role as stewards of God’s creation — a theme Bishop Arnold Temple, President of the All Africa Conference of Churches, brings to life in this reflection on Christian ecology. He explores how biblical principles call believers to care for the Earth not as passive observers, but as active custodians entrusted with protecting the natural world for future generations. Bishop Temple connects theological teaching with practical environmental responsibility, framing ecological stewardship as a core expression of Christian faith rather than a secondary concern. His perspective adds an important voice from the African Christian community to the broader interfaith conversation on sustainability, highlighting how churches across the continent are increasingly engaging with environmental issues.
