"Creation is for Lovers..." |
Does the accelerating global environmental crisis concern you as a Christian? Or does all the doomsaying about the health of our planet feel overblown or disconnected from your faith? Either way, we welcome you to join us for a five week “pilgrimage" to reframe these concerns together in light of the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. This class (“Creation is for Lovers: Theological and Spiritual Foundations for Creation Care”), led by Morgan Wills, will include a mix of lecture, small group interaction, and excerpts from a video about the interdisciplinary theological and environmental work of Regent College professor Loren Wilkinson, as well as his recently published book, Circles & the Cross; Cosmos, Consciousness, Christ, and the Human Place in Creation. Each class will introduce a spiritual practice to help ground faithful and sustainable engagement with Creation care, while laying the groundwork for more practically oriented classes on this topic in the months and years to come.

Collect for Ash Wednesday

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. |
