From The Living Church-
Leigh Edwards, The Living Church’s first junior fellow, is in Canterbury attending a two-week conference for young seminarians and clergy. This is one of her posts on what she is experiencing and learning. Follow her regular posts at Reviving Hope.
Beside worship, prayer and meals, the “main activity” for this conference is hour-long classes or discussions scattered three or four throughout the day. I hope to write more about our courses to encourage discussion on your part as well as to sift through my own thoughts. There is a chosen topic for our talks for this two week that certainly took me aback. The topic is care of creation.
Father Ed introduced the topic with the five marks of mission for the Anglican Communion:
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom.
To teach, baptize and nurture new believers.
To respond to human need by loving service.
To seek to transform unjust structures of society.
To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
