In an effort to combat climate change, participants at the California-Nevada Summit on Fossil Fuel Divestment approved a resolution that will now go before annual conference voters.
General Conference delegates passed much of the legislation supported by United Methodist climate justice activists, but divestment from fossil fuel company stocks proved elusive.
Created last and taken from the dust of the earth itself, the first call of human beings is to co-inhabit our living world with all other life-forms. Our second call, to subdue the earth and have dominion over the animals, is in service to the first. United Methodists are committed to maintaining the biblical priority.
