Take care of Creation
and let Creation take care of you

Vision of the Institute of Ecological and Religious Studies (IERS)

The Institute for Ecological and Religious Studies (IERS) teaches children, families and communities in western Ukraine to care for creation and let creation care for them. The Institute began its work in 2011. Now in the midst of war, its mission is even more urgent. This video shows how the Institute draws upon its Christian roots to work with the people of Transcarpathia in cooperation with religious, scientific and community leaders throughout eastern and central Europe.
