Peacefully Pantheistic Mennonites
Last February the Mennonite Central Committee Canada Ottawa office held a student seminar titled, “One World: Seeking Justice Through Faith and Policy” from February 15 to 18, 2007 (see here). Here was one of the sessions on their Agenda titled One World: seeking justice through faith and policy…

David Suzuki Foundation.World Council of Churches Statement to UN Climate Conference in Nairobi
As described on the Kairos website, this was:
A Statement from the World Council of Churches (WCC)
to the High-Level Ministerial Segment of the
UN Climate Conference in Nairobi (COP12/MOP2)
Friday, November 17, 2006
delivered by Dr. Jesse Mugambi, University of Nairobi and
Member of the WCC Working Group on Climate Change
This was not the first time the MCC has crossed paths with the UN, the World Council of Churches, or David Suzuki on the green road to earth religion. There are many other examples too numerous to list.
Incidentally, you can see David Suzuki’s picture at the bottom here:

He is an honorary advisor of the World Pantheist Movement, that states:
“In the WPM we revere and care for nature, we accept this life as our only life, and this earth as our only paradise, if we look after it.”
It’s interesting how David Suzuki often brings religion into his message of saving mother earth. Here is one example:
Suzuki rallies the faithful
World-renowned Canadian scientist David Suzuki has challenged faith communities to get involved in the preservation and protection of the environment - maintaining that it is a spiritual issue, which is reflected in various religious traditions that hold the earth as a sacred trust. Suzuki, the long-running host of CBC’s The Nature of Things, recently spoke at the Islamic Foundation of Toronto. The forum was organized by Faith and The Common Good, a non-governmental organization which has launched Renewing the Sacred Balance — a program that integrates faith, spirituality and ecology. Representatives of various faith communities attended the event. Rev. Ted McCollum, incumbent at St. Paul (Anglican), in Beaverton, Ontario, said he would recommend that his diocese take part in Suzuki’s Nature Challenge (see www.davidsuzuki.org), which lists 10 ways that people can conserve nature. McCollum stated: “How we treat the environment that God has given us reflects upon us. If we destroy this gift, what does it say about us?” - Anglican Journal

Unfortunately, not many Mennonites are aware that the Mennonite Central Committee they support and volunteer for has joined with the goals of the United Nations and the World Council of Churches, and that together they are travelling quickly towards One World Religion via pantheism, all in the name of peace.
