SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A faith-based environmental initiatives report is praising The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for its "green" City Creek Center project.
Released today, the report from the Sierra Club calls lauds the church for its commitment to being good stewards as it constructs the 20-acre multi-use development.
City Creek Center is part of a pilot program of the U.S. Green Building Council that promotes environmentally responsible and sustainable development.
The "Faith in Action: Communities of Faith Bring Hope for the Planet" report cites examples from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico in which people of faith display their concerns for the environment.
