Quotation for your Meditation
“There have been prophets in our history who understood the fundamental interrelationships between human beings and creation, and who challenged the church to respond. Hildegard of Bingen wrote often about greenness, or as she put it, “Viriditas”, … the creative force in all that is, that which leads to resurrection, to new life born out of death, to the rising life of Jesus, to the ever-present Spirit drawing us into the creative relationship with God and all God’s creation. You and I are meant to be partners in God’s glorious creative work. How will you be green, and heal this planet, and give glory to God?” The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, oceanographer, former Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
