The Green Rule Interfaith Project

The Green Rule Interfaith Project

To Discover the Sacredness of Creation within the World's Religions

To represent creation as a whole, a tree is used as a central image, symbolic of the entire Earth, its various peoples, cultures, creatures and ecosystems. You will notice on the poster that there is only one tree but many different species of leaves. This is intended to express the old adage 'unity in diversity.' Each leaf represents a different faith tradition, and each species is significant to the faith it represents.

A Green Rule Study Guide is available:

It offers suggestions on how you can use the Green Rule poster as an imaginative and practical tool to teach youth and adult members of your faith community and school system about the sacredness of creation in their own faith, while taking into consideration the similar beliefs of other traditions.
