“We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labour pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit … For in hope we were saved.” Romans 8:22-24

Our Study Group for the Season of Creation (the month of September) this year will be based around a selection of poetry and prose such as St Francis “Canticle of the Sun“, William Cowper’s “The Nightingale and the Glow Worm“, the Anglo-Saxon “Dream of the Rood” and extracts from Annie Proulx’s novel “Barskins“, Alexander Von Humbolt’s “Cosmos“, Helen Macdonald’s “H is for Hawk” and Jurgen Moltmann’s “God in Creation“.

There will be four sessions each lasting a little over an hour, to be held at James and Ann’a house at 11 Ferry Road Golspie on Wednesday afternoons starting at 1:30pm on:

• 4^th Sept – The Goodness of Creation 

• 11^th Sept – The Worship of all Creation

• 18^st Sept – Nature and Humanity 

• 25^th Sept – Renewal of Creation

The sessions will be semi-independent, so you are welcome even if you can’t manage all of them.  If you wish any more information, speak to or contact Canon James. Anyone who would like a copy of the materials ahead of time (probably a good idea for potential attendees but also those who would like to study the material on their own) also speak to Canon James to arrange it. It would be helpful (though not essential) to have some idea of numbers ahead of time. You can download the material from the Study Groups page.
