The
Centre for Social Justice and Ethics at The Catholic University of Eastern
Africa (CUEA) in partnership with Alliance of Religions and Conservations
(ARC), launched the book “Stewardship of God’s Creation: A Catholic
Environmental Toolkit for Catechists and Seminarians” on  21st March 2014, at  CUEA’s Lang’ata Campus. The Launch was
preceded by celebrations to mark the World Water Day.
Speaking
at the book launch the guest of honour, His Lordship, Bishop Alfred Rotich, formerly of Kenya Military Ordinariate stated that a Christian’s
responsibility for the environment begins with appreciation. “God looked at
everything he had made and saw it was very good,” said Bishop Rotich. He added
that we need to form our conscious, allow our faith to form our actions and by
our actions we will form the actions of others.
AMECEA Secretariat was represented by Fr. Febian Pikiti, AMECEA Pastoral Department Coordinator. The
book is a toolkit, written from an African theological perspective that has
been prepared by the Center for Social Justice and Ethics in collaboration with
the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC). It speaks to the contemporary
environmental issues affecting AMECEA offering African theological solutions.
