The Season of Creation is the annual Christian celebration to pray and respond together to the cry of Creation: the ecumenical family around the world unites to listen and care for our common home. The “Celebration” begins 1 September, the Feast of Creation, and ends 4 October, the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations.
This season is a great time to celebrate God’s creation within your church community. For more information and ideas about what to do, use the button below.
Our next Day of Reflection is about helping us to reflect on God’s Creation.
- Creation-centred spirituality invites us to recognize our role within the ongoing evolution of the universe.
- Do we see ourselves as planetary beings, the latest expression of God’s continuing creation story?
- How can we nurture the flourishing of creation rather than its destruction?
With insights from cosmology, theology and church teaching as well as workshops, the day offers an opportunity to deepen understanding, re-focus energies, generate hope and inspire shared action.
The Evolution of love . . . ‘Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mysterious of the cosmic forces.
The day will come when, after harnessing space, winds, the tide and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love.
And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, humanity will have discovered fire.’
Teilhard de Chardin
ALL are welcome and there is no charge to come to this event (but there will be a voluntary collection during the day). As with our other Days of Reflection, we ask people to bring some food for a shared lunch (nothing that needs to be cooked or heated up). These are usually a highlight and we have never yet had 20 quiches! Obviously, if you have dietary restrictions then this may not be possible.
All we do ask is that you please book a place using our Eventbrite page for this event so that we can properly plan for both refreshments and any materials that we might need to have for the day.
