A Lens on Creation: Reflection 1

The Season of Creation which runs from 1st September to 4th October, is a time for renewing our relationship with all creation. It is an opportunity for us to reflect on how we use the planet’s finite resources, to pray for healing for ourselves and for the world, and to renew our commitment to living more lightly upon the Earth.
