The leaders of the Orthodox, Catholic and Anglican Churches have issued a rare joint statement on the need to protect creation. The message has been released during the Season of Creation, which runs from 1 September, designated as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to 4 October, the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi
“For Christians, a focus on ‘creation’, rather than the ‘environment’ or ‘ecology’, underscores the interconnectedness of all life, affirming the deep connection we have with the broader created order and encouraging a genuine love and concern for all that God has created,” says The Rev’d Professor Rodney Wolff
Earlier this year, St Luke’s Anglican School purchased some native bees to care for and study. The flow-on effect of this initiative has been significant for Year 4 students, who share their interesting insights and learnings in this special joint feature
“‘Clear the Weir’ activates our God-given stewardship role by involving young Christians in physically caring for their environment. This allows us to see, first-hand, the importance of our role and the impact we have and the difference we can make as part of God’s Creation,” says Year 11 student and St John’s, Dalby parishioner Charlotte Kelly in this special joint feature
