DEEP WATERS - A NEW 8 WEEK COURSE
REGISTER YOUR INTEREST
We are considering running an 8-week course, beginning in Creation Time, that provides a faith-based framework within which anxieties and fears about climate change and biodiversity loss can be expressed and explored together. It aims to help people navigate experiences of eco-anxiety and climate grief through a Christian lens of love, wisdom, and justice, and to lead people into a place of active hope.
If you would be interested in participating, have a look at the course here https://borrowedtime.earth/programmes-of-mutual-support/deep-waters-programme/ and get in touch with me on louise.burrows@lacotechurch.ch

The liturgy of the ordination service included a section called ‘The Declarations”. I was asked several questions that required me to respond with the words, “By the help of God I will.” The congregation, in turn, was asked questions, the first one being “Brothers and sisters, you have heard how great is the charge that Betty is ready to undertake, and you have heard her declarations. Is it now your will that she should be ordained?” I was brought to tears when the beaming congregation enthusiastically shouted, “It is!”
