Environment, science coverage expanding with FEAST online forum
(Daybook)

[ENS, New York] - Seeking to widen coverage of intersections of faith
and
the sciences, the Episcopal News Service today launches a new online
forum
titled "FEAST: Faith, Environment, Action, Science, Technology," which
can
be found at: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_59978_ENG_HTM.htm.

The online forum will take initial shape throughout Eastertide 2005,
with
new packets of reporting posted every Monday through the upcoming
liturgical
season, and continue with breaking news and occasional features
thereafter.

Central to the coverage will be the work of several Episcopal Church
Center
offices and committees/commissions of General Convention, as well as
projects taken up by congregations, dioceses, and church provinces.

The coverage includes a call for people of faith to "grow in
understanding,"
one of four themes currently guiding the work of the Episcopal Church's
Office of Communication (see full complement at www.comeandgrow.org).

Environmental protection and sustainability is further supported in
numerous
of the church's liturgical expressions, which will also be highlighted
within the online forum. Underscoring the importance of individual and
corporate responsibility for preserving the abundance of God's creation,
the
online forum will also echo the familiar liturgical response:
"Therefore,
let us keep the FEAST."

Stories to follow today:

Wildlife Refuge
-- Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai to join Teilhard de Chardin
memorial observance
