The theme for Creationtide 2023 is Let Justice and Peace Flow.* Let your imagination take flight with this theme and take pictures of anything which delights or inspires or challenges you with regards to Creation! No fancy camera or training needed – anyone can simply use their phone.
Pictures from ANYONE in our St. Mary’s community are welcome. At the end of Creationtide we’ll organize all submissions into a photo album to share, as well as recognize special talent. So get snapping! Submission information will be shared at a later date.
*From the Church of England website: The prophet Isaiah proclaims: “Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43: 19) Biodiversity is being lost at a rate not seen since the last mass extinction. The futures of young people are threatened by the cascading impacts of the loss of biodiversity and a changing climate. The urgency grows and we must make visible peace with Earth and on Earth, at the same time that justice calls us to repentance and a change of attitude and actions. As we join the river of justice and peace with others then hope is created instead of despair.
