This Sunday: Sacred Earth Evening Prayer

This Sunday at 5 p.m., we will once again gather at Edgerton Park (Edgehill Rd entrance) for a service of Sacred Earth Evening Prayer.

As St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “Creation is the primary and most perfect revelation of the Divine.” Our Sacred Earth service is a time to connect with nature, its beauty, its message, its care. The prayers seek to connect us with the divine expression in creation. It is a place where faith and science meet, where our souls find their home in a way we not always remember, given our lifestyle away from nature. During this prayer time we open our hearts to the richness of nature, like Gerard Manley Hopkins expressed: “What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wilderness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; long live the weeks and the wilderness yet.”

Come and join us at Edgerton Park!
