Pollution, climate change, and environmental injustice represent existential threats to our communities and to the gospel. These growing threats disproportionately impact low-income neighborhoods and communities of color throughout the United States. Environmental injustice still receives relatively little attention from Christians, however. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap teaches us that one of the greatest ways to demonstrate love for humanity is to work for environmental justice.
Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap serves as the National Organizer and Spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action. Kyle holds an undergraduate degree in religious studies from Calvin College (B.A. ’12), a Master of Divinity degree from Western Theological Seminary (M.Div. ’16), and is ordained in the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA). Much of his professional experience has involved the integration of theology, science, and action toward a deeper awareness of the Christian responsibility to care for God’s earth and to love one’s neighbors, both at home and around the world.
