Called to Ecological Spirituality (Apr 2)
Stories reveal our worldview. Worldviews reveal the Who, the Where, and the How of our God and who we say Christ is. Our experience of God leads to a lifestyle that reveals our spirituality. If that spirituality is ecological, all will be well. If it is not, wellness will not be found for anyone or anything. Make sure your spirituality is eco-spirituality!
One Cry: Cry of Earth and Cry of the Poor (Apr 9)
Listen. Whose cry are you hearing? Whose cry are you feeling? Join together and discover the depth of the cry and the profound implications offered as we dare to listen and to let our hearts be broken. From the depths will come forth a wisdom beyond reason which holds the potential to make all things whole.
What Does Ecological Economics Look Like? (Apr 16)
Ecos means “house”! Ecology means the study of the house. Economics is how we manage the house! Look around. Notice what is happening to our Common Home! Perhaps we need a new way of thinking of how we are managing our house. Join us as we learn about new ways of relating with our house and living in Christ.
Coming Back Into Balance with the Whole Cosmos (Apr 23)
Look around, our human life has gotten out of whack. The state of the world is calling us personally and as a human community to an ecological conversion with no time to waste! As the Body of Christ, this conversion summons us to live in, with and for Christ.
