Season of Creation

Each year, from 1 September, the Global Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to 4 October, St Francis of Assisi Day, many Anglicans use the Season of Creation – also known as  Creation Time –  to pray and celebrate with creation, focus on the story of Earth, and commit to a ministry of healing Earth.

Creation Time 2019

This year we offer reflections on the Revised Common Lectionary Readings appointed for these weeks, set against the backdrop of the extreme urgency of the climate crisis and the challenges, which confront us all, without exception, to change our own lives and support and encourage others in the just transition to a human world more likely to weather the turmoil that undoubtedly lies ahead of us all.

CofEEnvironment

The Church of England Environmental Programme is collecting resources for 'Creationtide' here. Resources include new liturgies and examples of services and prayers, suggested readings and discussion questions, and a new daily action sheet.

You can also hear about the impact of climate change across the Anglican Communion through the 'Letters for Creation'. For this project the Archbishop of Canterbury invited senior clergy from across the Communion to share their thoughts on two questions: What does the Care for God’s Creation mean in your Province? What do you want to say to the Anglican Communion about the Care for our Common Home?

The Bishop of Salisbury calls for prayer for the environment during Creationtide

The Bishop of Salisbury (Church of England), the Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, calls for prayer for the environment during Creationtide.

“The care of creation is a top priority for every Christian disciple in our day. It’s clear in Scripture that God wants us to steward this beautiful Earth we’ve been given. We need to take care of it at a time when global warming and climate change are creating enormous pressures.”
