A Partnership Ministry of Disciples Home Missions and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) This group authored the Alverna Covenant.

Eco-justice ministries in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) grew out of the 1977 General Assembly resolution that called for the development of a Task Force on Ecology. In recent years, a new effort at environmental stewardship has taken root. General Ministries have recognized their part in caring for creation, for example, by creating programs for congregations to green their buildings (Church Extension) and their grounds (DHM). Christian Board of Publication has committed to using recycled paper stock in their publications. DHM and Week of Compassion have partnered to make Equal Exchange coffee available to Disciples. DHM has worked in behalf of the environment through the promotion of the Alverna Covenant as well as serving as a liaison to the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Working Group and congregations. Recent work has included the Green Church Program as well as Return to the Garden. Green Chalice in Kentucky are Disciples connecting Christian faith, spiritual practice and environmental consciousness in order to demonstrate the fullness of God’s shalom. Kentucky Disciples frame their ministry with one question, “What must we do to live our faith?” For a growing number of Kentucky Disciples that answer includes care for God’s creation through adopting sustainable lifestyles both personally and as a congregation. Green Chalice was called into being in 2007 to help Kentucky Disciples live sustainable lives in harmony with all creation. These two ministries have come together to partner to serve all Disciples in all regions in creation care ministries. The Reverend Carol Devine, has been called to serve as the leadership for this initiative.
