Rev. Mark Nichols is the new climate-care animator in the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. I’ve no idea what that means, but it conjures up an image of a puppeteer pulling the strings of a Greta doll to entertain those who have lost their faith in everything except contemporary superstitions.  Maybe that’s just me, though.

It’s heartening to know that someone finally has the solution to global warming: animate climate care. Why did no one think of that before?

Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador creates new position for climate-care animator

“If there’s one thing that really angers me, it’s social injustice,” Nichols said.

“I really see the environmental side of it, the creation-care side of it, as part of that. The people that bear the burden for (climate change) are the world’s poor, the elderly, people in developing nations and our children.”

Recently, Bishop Geoff Peddle of the Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador announced Nichols would undertake a new part-time role with the diocese — a position they call creation-care animator.

The Rev. tips his hand later in the article: Mankind is not the pinnacle of God’s creation, the Earth is, inanimate, though it may be. Unapologetic Gaia worship.

He says that for too long humans have been anthropocentric, thinking of themselves as the most important thing on the planet.

“The church is being called to … look at a creation-centric way of being,” he says.

“I often say to people, we need the Earth, but the Earth really doesn’t need us. … We need to improve that relationship we have with the rest of creation.”
