Abstract

A religião exerce uma grande influência nas atitudes, percepções e nos valores das pessoas, possuindo um importante papel educativo. Entretanto, o envolvimento com a causa ambientalista não tem sido uma prática evidente nas igrejas evangélicas de modo geral, e na Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia em particular. Sendo assim, considerando-se a importância que os adventistas do sétimo dia dão aos escritos de Ellen G. White, faz-se necessário resgatar o que ela diz sobre o cuidado que devemos ter com o meio ambiente. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o que a escritora adventista norte-americana Ellen G. White escreveu sobre o cuidado com a natureza em seus mais diversos aspectos, em harmonia com os valores defendidos para alcançarmos uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária.

Palavras-chaves: Meio Ambiente; Teologia Adventista; Ellen G. White.

Abstract: Religion has a great influence on the attitudes, perceptions and values of people, having an important educational role. However, the involvement with the environmental cause has not been an obvious practice in evangelical churches in general and the Adventist Church in particular. Thus, considering the importance Seventh-day Adventists give to the writings of Ellen G. White, it is necessary to rescue what she says about the care we must have with the environment. This article aims to present what the American Adventist writer Ellen G. White wrote about the care of nature in its various aspects, in keeping with the values espoused to achieve a more just and egalitarian society.

Key words: Environment; Adventist Theology; Ellen G. White.
