Ammerdown
More Canticles and Compost
28 May-1 June (Mon-Fri)
18+; Fully catered
Two years ago at a CPW event entitled “Canticles and compost” we reflected on the radical messages of St Francis of Assisi and how to respond to them. Since then, scientific disputes, the promise to be the “greenest Government ever” and a Cardinal telling us that climate change is a dangerous delusion leave many of us confused.
What are we to think? Will technology, science and the markets come to the rescue? Are we now The God Species as a recent book claims? As Christians we are called to look more deeply at the spiritual and ethical roots of the problem and ask what our faith has to offer a confused and fearful world.
Through talks, workshops and especially liturgy the team hope to continue their own searchings for the ways forward assisted by the insights of all members of the Week. Mary Colwell, a leading environmentalist and media producer, will also be speaking. There will be plenty of time for reflection in the peace and beauty of Ammerdown.
