The WCC follows other noteworthy religious institutions who have decided to divest from fossil fuels. New York Citys Union Theological Seminary voted unanimously in June to stop investing in fossil fuels. The Unitarian Universalist Association joined the divestment movement in June as well, and the United Church of Christ passed a fossil fuel divestment strategy in July of 2013.“Scripture tells us that all of the world is God’s precious creation, and our place within it is to care for and respect the health of the whole,” said Union Seminary President Serene Jones, when publicizing the decision. Climate change poses a catastrophic threat, and as stewards of God’s creation we simply must act.”
