Throughout the month of September, Christians across the world will celebrate the Season of Creation, this is an annual invitation to pray and reflect on our shared call to care for the earth - our common home and the good creation of God.
Whether we recognise the beauty and fragility of creation in glowing lights, words, actions, or prayer we should not take our mother earth for granted.
