NET-TV Airs Documentary on Environment

New Evangelization Television (NET-TV) is televising its original production “Custody + Creation,” a moving environmental documentary about the care of creation and the role of the faithful.

Assessing the state of the planet Earth and the imminent threat of climate change, “Custody + Creation” focuses on the Church’s reaffirmation of the biblical custody of the Earth, the dignity of creation, and human ecology.

“Custody + Creation” presents exclusive interviews of scientists and theologians who share their research, experience and perspective, as well as local activists from the New York Harbor, Narragansett Bay, the Delaware River Valley and the Chesapeake Bay, who share viable solutions for taking on pollution, energy, and what Pope Francis has described as “disposable culture.”

“The makers of ‘Custody + Creation’ understand the dynamics of protecting creation and connecting faith and reason, prayer, and activism with Church and state. They have found voices that can tell this story – that can show the Church in action to protect creation and defend human dignity,” said Bill Patenaude, the founder of CatholicEcology.net and one of the interviewees featured in the documentary.
