Faith as Responsibility toward Creation. Reflections on the Patriarchal Message for the Day of Prayer for the Protection of the Environment (2025)

by Rev. Fr. Panagiotis Kapodistrias

At the outset of the 2025–2026 ecclesiastical year, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew issued, from the ever-radiant Phanar, his annual Patriarchal Message for the Day of Prayer for the Protection of the Environment. This message, steeped in theological insight and spiritual gravity, reaffirms the responsibility entrusted to all Christians with regard to creation—an essential dimension of faith and an expression of Orthodoxy as right action.
