Gloucester

What is the world coming to? Ecological crisis and Christian hope. Redcliffe/JRI annual conference, In recent Christian history, the expectation that Christ will return soon and reconstruct the earth has been used as a reason for not living as if resources need to last. Another view is that the Kingdom extends not
just to reclaiming lives, but also to abused ecologies, the whole fabric of life. In this conference, we will seek a greater understanding of our part in God's plan, and a vision of Christ's return that stimulates creation-care. The day will be held at
Redcliffe College, Gloucester. All welcome, booking required to

England - St Georges Day

St George's Day. Garth Hewitt writes an article about St George ( The patron saint of England, is, George of Lydda in Palestine.) ...". The Green one. The third important point is that Al-Khader, or "the green one", reminds us that St George has a particular ecological commitment. He was known as "the protector of the trees" as well as "the healer". He is seen as protector of the environment — so the green link gives St George a particular relevance in our time as we face the challenge of global warming.

So with St George we can address the issues of the "dragon" or "empire" within our own time, he is the protector of the environment and the "green one", he has an interfaith relevance, he is healer of the community and a very prophetic and hopeful patron saint.

NB (Ed:)St Georges Mushrooms (edible) Calocybe gambosa may be out by 23 April, but don't usually appear in the north of England till May or even June.

A Sense of Place - Rogation Weekend with Brother Samuel

Rogation-tide is traditionally the time for ‘beating the bounds' – walking around the boundaries of the parish and asking for God's blessing on the fields, the woodlands, the growing crops, the animals and the work of our hands. It used also to be a way of identifying and honouring ‘this place' as ‘home' and a celebration of the network of relationships of which we were a part...We'll be looking at the particular nineteen acres of Hilfield Friary and what they can show us, and – oh, yes – we'll be beating the bounds!

Manchester

BE THE CHANGE- Where on Earth are we going? And what can we do about it? 'Change the Dream symposium' at The Monastery, Manchester on Sunday 4th May. . Mike Arundale, one of the trained team of facilitators for the day, attended the CEL retreat last month. He describes it like this:"The Symposium explores the link between three of humanity’s most critical concerns: environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfilment. Using video clips from some of the world’s most respected thinkers, along with inspiring short films, leading edge information and dynamic group interactions, the Symposium allows participants to gain a new insight into the very nature of our time and the opportunity we have to shape and impact the direction of our world with our everyday choices and actions."The format emanates from the Green movement, but CEL is working with Mike to develop it for use in churches, and you can help us!
