All Creation Waits book discussion group for Advent

Event Information

Avoid the consumer hype of the “holiday season” and instead read & discuss 25 intimate, beautifully-written portraits of wild animals.

About this event

Avoid the consumer hype of the “holiday season” with daily intimate, beautifully-written portraits of wild animals and their adaptations to the cold and dark of winter. The author sees in these creatures lessons for adapting to the “winters” in our own lives. The book, although intended as a devotional for the Christian season of Advent, is very unusual in that it contains no overtly religious content, making it suitable for people of all faiths, or no faith at all. So, Christians, environmentalists, animal lovers & others will be captivated and inspired by these stories. Join a weekly discussion group, online, to reflect together on All Creation Waits.

“Earth Church” with Jim Blackburn @ Online Event
Feb 27 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church in Houston invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2022 is Planet Earth & You. In February, join Jim Blackburn, Professor in the Practice in Environmental Law at Rice University, who will discuss his new book, Earth Church, which he co-authored with artist Isabelle Scurry Chapman. Earth Church is a book about Earth-based spirituality, a subject that will become much more prominent in a future defined by a changing climate and the creation of a new economic system that is circular rather than linear. At the center of Earth-based spirituality is the Earth itself, that wonderful planet without which we would not be. Blackburn will weave a narrative around the poetry and art of Earth-based spirituality. Time for interactive Q&A with the speaker will be provided.
