Rev. Mark Nichols is the new climate-care animator in the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. I\u2019ve no idea what that means, but it conjures up an image of a puppeteer pulling the strings of a Greta doll to entertain those who have lost their faith in everything except contemporary superstitions.\u00a0 Maybe that\u2019s just me, though.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s heartening to know that someone finally has the solution to global warming: animate climate care. Why did no one think of that before?

\"\"Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador creates new position for climate-care animator<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s one thing that really angers me, it\u2019s social injustice,\u201d Nichols said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really see the environmental side of it, the creation-care side of it, as part of that. The people that bear the burden for (climate change) are the world\u2019s poor, the elderly, people in developing nations and our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, Bishop Geoff Peddle of the Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador announced Nichols would undertake a new part-time role with the diocese \u2014 a position they call creation-care animator.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Rev. tips his hand later in the article: Mankind is not the pinnacle of God\u2019s creation, the Earth is, inanimate, though it may be. Unapologetic Gaia worship.<\/p>\n

He says that for too long humans have been anthropocentric, thinking of themselves as the most important thing on the planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe church is being called to \u2026 look at a creation-centric way of being,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often say to people, we need the Earth, but the Earth really doesn\u2019t need us. \u2026 We need to improve that relationship we have with the rest of creation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
