The Passion of the Earth

A reflection on Holy Week and our relation to the planet

Following a brief glimpse of how modern science reinforces the idea of the preciousness and wonder of creation, I will examine how care for the planet fits into the message of Holy Week. We need to recognise the reality of the suffering of the earth and all its species, including ourselves, and acknowledge our own responsibility in this. Then we can pass through the abandonment of Good Friday and Holy Saturday, to come to the glory of Easter and the renewal of the earth.

The talk will include time for questions and discussion.
