LSTC:
The Seminary as a Green Zone

LSTC is the Green Zone:
From students initiating an ink cartridge recycling program to professors requesting assignments on recycled paper, everyone participates creating a place dedicated to practicing care for the earth in its geographical space and its communal life.

A committee comprised of students, faculty, and staff meets regularly to carry out projects relating to the care for creation. The goal of the seminary as a Green Zone is to transform this community's life through these five areas:

Worship
Education
Building & Grounds
Personal and Communal Life
Public Ministry & Public Advocacy
Green Zone Meetings & Events

The seminary graduates students who know that care for creation is an integral part of their Christian commitment that the church is called to be responsible partners in earth-keeping, and who also have training and resources to give leadership in their parish settings.
