Abstract
Abstract \nStewards of Sustainability: A Theological Analysis of the Relationship Between \nthe Anglican Church of Canada, The Climate Change Crisis, and Sustainability \nMichael Leblanc \n \nThe purpose of this thesis is to help the discussion of the Anglican Church of Canada and the climate change crisis evolve into a practical plan of climate action within a theological \nhermeneutic. This thesis uses Gordon D. Kaufman’s constructive theological method to showcase different ecological theologies and hermeneutics from a variety of different experts like Michael S. Northcott, Denis Edwards, Willis Jenkins, and Wendell Berry. In examining numerous avenues, the research proposes that the Anglican Church of Canada should join the \nGreen Churches Network in a massive scale project. This community-oriented project would lead to expediating climate action through processes like tree planting, building alternative energy infrastructure, and updating current structures towards more efficient models. This massive project would be held together by theological reasoning, belief, community effort, and the goal of sustaining and protecting creation under the movement of ecological conversion. \n \nKEY WORDS: Climate change, Climate change crisis, Greenhouse gases (GHGs), Coping \nrange, Vector-borne diseases, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Ecological \nConversion, Humanocentric, Theocentric, Ecocentric, Ecojustice, Christian Stewardship, \nCreation Spirituality, Fruitful Resistance, Community, Atonement, Wholeness, Constructive \ntheological method, Christomorphic, Historicism, Pragmatism, The Green Churches Network

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
