God desires the reconciliation and renewal of all creation, and the church is called to serve that end. We will explore this in February:
Feb 7: Genesis 1: a hidden call to human equality, and Genesis 2: a fuller, richer story for all creation.(Jason)
Feb 14th: The nature of science (Barbara Towers, recently retired teacher from Bishop Druitt)
Feb 21st: Church ecology, and a bit of Matthew Fox (Matthew & Shana Henry, members of the ecofaith community)
Feb 28th: This was going to be: The creation story of evolution: humbling and empowering, but instead we explored Jesus' famous "Jerusalem, Jerusalem" lament with the story "Call me chicken, "by Pastor Joseph Tauer." You can read it here or watch it on youtube here.
