Presbyter's Ramblings
Presbyter`s Ramblings
We move from Winter to Spring, from the season of dormancy and waiting into the season of new life. We will celebrate Spring Flowers on the 14th September. Spring heralds the warming of the earth, the blooming of flora and the renewal of fauna. It is a time when life celebrates life. In this season we will pause Pentecost for a moment to celebrate the Season of Creation. At this time we will remind ourselves of God’s first call on people, to be tenders of the garden, good and life-giving stewards of the earth. Liturgically we confess our mistreatment of the world, its seas and sky, the plundering of the earth’s resources and the inequity in the sharing of those resources. We will acknowledge God’s nature of forgiveness and in the liturgy of our living strive to care for the earth in our Rekindling the Vā of Papatūānuku.
Andrew.
