[Episcopal News Service] Last week's gathering in the Dominican
Republic of Episcopalians and Anglicans from Latin American, the
Caribbean and the United States -- bishops, clergy, staff, seminarians
and lay leaders -- was a tangible sign that a new world is waiting to
be born -- and that we are called in Christ to serve as midwives of
new life.

As participants from Panama, Brazil, Haiti, Guatemala, Ecuador, and
the Dominican Republic told us, the effects of climate change are
being felt right now. People are being hurt and killed. Other forms of
life are being extinguished. The planet we will pass on to our
children tomorrow is being impoverished today. Whether we are ready or
not, whether we want to believe it or not, a changing climate is
bringing social and ecological challenges to every person on this
earth.
