What is the Christian’s responsibility to care for God’s creation? We explore this question in this interview with Mark Purcell, Executive Director of A Rocha USA, the US team of A Rocha International, which works on creation care issues around the world. A Rocha has projects to reclaim and sustain environmentally sensitive areas on every continent except Antarctica; educates the Body of Christ on creation care issues, and assists churches and businesses in making environmentally informed decisions on construction and landscaping. This is part 1 of a two-part interview.
