Dear Editor,
In the January issue of en we wrote an article supporting a call for clarity from the Lausanne Movement on the Christian motivations for creation care. Our particular concern was the sentence “Creation care is thus a gospel issue within the Lordship of Christ,” within the movement’s Cape Town Commitment, which might appear to add works to grace in the gospel.
We are grateful that two senior figures in the Lausanne Movement responded to us in March’s en: the editor of the Cape Town Commitment, Chris Wright, and Dave Bookless, a Lausanne Catalyst for Creation Care. We are reassured by their affirmation that they have no intention to undermine the gospel of grace.
