Larry Rasmussen, an author, earth ethicist and lecturer, offers a reflection on climate jubilee. He recorded this video on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. “Social justice must also attend to creation justice…”
Emily Syal, who is coordinating the Cool Congregations campaign and Young Adult Ministry for NMIPL, introduced our Season of Creation. She is a resident of Santa Fe and a recent graduate of divinity school in California.
The Season of Creation unites the world’s 2.2 billion Christians around one shared purpose. With so much injustice all around us, now is the time for Christians everywhere to come together and show the world how to love each other and creation.
The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through repenting, repairing, and rejoicing together. During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home.
This year, amid crises that have shaken our world, we’re awakened to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and each other. During the season this year, we enter a time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth, that requires radically new ways of living with creation.
