Making Peace with the Land
September 22 – November 3
Starting Sunday 22 September 2019, our Sunday morning conversations before service will dig into the book, Making Peace with the Land, by Fred Bahnson and Norman Wirzba. At a time when climate change headlines warn of catastrophic impacts to our planet, what does our faith teach us about our relationship to this place where we reside? The authors approach this question from a perspective of reconciliation..
Each Sunday's discussion takes place in the QACC lounge from 9 to 9:50. Our series discussing this book will go for seven weeks, concluding on the 3rd of November. Let the church office know if you want a copy of the book or sign up in the narthex.
"Books like this usually threaten us with scarcity. Bahnson and Wirzba beckon us with God's creative, 'abundant kingdom homesteading,' correcting our 'reconciliation deficit disorder' by helping us to see that the full scope of divine healing includes all creatures and the whole creation--soil and sea and air, and everything contained and sustained by them." The Christian Century
"Bahnson and Wirzba have written a book that is thoroughly Christian, offering inspiration to many of us who seek to understand what on earth (literally) God would have us do. But the book's apologetic value cannot be underestimated. It unfolds the riches of Christian teaching, tradition, experience, and reflection that makes it accessible to those outside the faith. They drive all of us to consider the actual ancient stumbling blocks of Jesus' humanity and his bodily resurrection, and they offer hope." (Rusty Pritchard, PRISM Magazine, September/October 2012).
