Welcome to NACCE

The Network Alliance of Congregations Caring for the Earth (formerly the North American Coalition for Christianity and Ecology) is an ecumenical, voluntary, tax-exempt organization. It was established in 1986 to encourage the many strands of Christian tradition in the work of healing the damaged earth, out of a common concern and love for God's creation.

New Website Design!

At last! A template of our new website is available for viewing.We hope to completely revise our site to be both more visually appealing and to provide improved interactivity for the viewer.

Please note that it is only a template, not a fully functioning site. We encourage your feedback in the hope that we might make it even better.

We also encourage you to use the two working links on the template: a link on the lower right connects to a video of a small local group, perhaps like your own, engaged in an action to defend their community’s resources. We hope to include many such videos on the site as we address our newly sharpened mission: to provide a platform for local groups who have been unable to attract attention from the mainstream media.

The other working link connects to a donation service that allows you to make a contribution to NACCE. To make the new template fully functional, we need your help. Please be generous. We have great hopes for our new mission, but we need your help to make it happen!

So take a minute to visit the proposed new website. Please email us to share your feedback or to join the email list and stay in touch...

A New Vision for a New Time

by The Board of NACCE

In 1986 when NACCE was formed, very few people of faith in North America considered the destructive exploitation of planet Earth to be a religious issue. Twenty years later there are hundreds of denominational and interfaith religious organizations (with websites) that consider the Care of Earth, or Care of Creation, as a central tenet of their faith. Regional networks of faith communities are forming across the country to nurture earth-healing ministries, linking the Integrity of Creation to Justice and Peace.

Does this mean NACCE’s work is done? Not necessarily. A Board meeting in November considered the question and decided...

NACCE's Mission

The continuing devastation of Earth is a crisis of the human spirit. To address this crisis:

We will invite people into a loving relationship with Earth through the formation of local earthkeeping circles. We will teach reverence for God's creation, with the understanding that humans are embedded in the natural world. We will cooperate with other organizations concerned with ecology and social justice. We will promote the study of ecological issues in the context of biblical theology and contemporary science.
