TechnoratiTunnicliffe’s visit included a stop at Canberra where he shared the vision of Micah Challenge, an international movement of Christians lobbying their governments to keep the promises they made to the poor when they signed up to the Millennium Development Goals.
“We will continue to remind the Government of their obligations to the MDGs and the huge challenge of poverty,” he said. “But we also want to let them know that we share their concerns. We are equally asking Christians around the world to deepen their commitment to world issues.
“We recognize that governments have the responsibility to formulate and implement policy, but we as the followers of Christ also have an obligation to serve.”
Tunnicliffe stressed that evangelicals were committed to reconciliation not only with God and between people, but also with creation.
“It’s all about creation care,” he said. “It’s not about worshipping creation, but it is about caring for the creation that God has entrusted us with.
“God said we have dominion over His creation. That means He’s given us dominion to care for it, not to waste it.”
