In this era of climate change,
resource depletion and increasing violence towards nature,
what is the new understanding of humanity’s place
and role in the unfolding of creation that can help
us help us engage creatively in this unprecedented period
of crisis and opportunity? What are the principles and
practices of this new awareness? As people committed
to a spiritual life in the modern world, what are our
special strengths and unique opportunities to fully
participate in this crucial turning point in history?
This workshop explores the emerging global
spirituality -- an eco-spirituality -- that has exciting
implications for those who wish to merge their spirituality
and activism and ministers of all faiths. Through reading,
guided meditation, worship sharing (a Quaker tradition)
and other didactic and experiential methods we will
gain a new sense of our identity within the cosmos and
the Earth Community, and our opportunity to make a unique
and lasting impact in the healing of the Earth.
