This 1 September, Creation Day, also known as Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, opens the Season of Creation 2023. Faith leaders from around the globe will lead this time of prayer and reflection as we celebrate the start of the Season of Creation, on this year’s theme, “Let Justice and Peace Flow”.
Prophet Amos cries out: “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5: 24) and so we are called to join the river of justice and peace, to take up climate and ecological justice, and to speak out with and for communities most impacted by climate injustice and the loss of biodiversity.
As the people of God, we must work together on behalf of all Creation, as part of that mighty river of peace and justice.
Following on our successful and enjoyable deanery pilgrimage last year, we have decided to repeat it this summer in (more or less) the reverse direction, walking between all the churches and pausing to pray in each one. I hope that some of you will join me for at least part of the way. Some of you may simply want to be present in your church when the group arrives, some of you may decide to do a couple of legs at different times of the day, some of you may want to walk the whole route. (We can provide public transport alternatives for most of the legs, so that you could visit all or many of the churches without necessarily walking the entire route!)
The lovely thing about walking a pilgrim route is that you change conversation partners as you go along and sometimes you quite simply walk in companionable silence. I hope that this will give us the opportunity to get to know each other better and also to reflect on the way in which the churches bless us and how we can be a blessing to the communities they serve.
Bring a picnic lunch and don’t forget to have plenty of water!
