Jesus also taught us to pray for God\u2019s kingdom to come on earth as in heaven. Yet, we live in&nbsp;an era of ecological disaster and fear, with predictions of disastrous climate change, loss of wildlife, plastic pollution and waste. In addition, many are in despair at economic, social and political trends which cause injustice, division and poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is the Bible\u2019s message to today\u2019s context?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does caring for creation relate to the Gospel message?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the task of the church to prepare people for heaven, or to seek transformation here and now?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can we live with hope, wonder and joy in a world of wounds?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We will explore God\u2019s two books, the Christian scriptures and the beauty of God\u2019s creation in the Domaine de Courmettes, as we reflect on our place in God\u2019s world using our heads, our hearts and our hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teaching will be in English with simultaneous translation in French.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courmettes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Webp.net-resizeimage-47-150x150.jpg\"> Rev.
