Sermon & Forum Topic:
Knowing Our Place: Belonging, Hope, and Caring for God's Creation
In today’s fragmented world, reconnecting with a sense of place—spiritually, theologically, and geographically—is one of our best paths toward resilience and groundedness. Rather than viewing Creation Care only as a way to “save the Earth,” Dr. Dolan invites us to see it as a profoundly faithful practice—one that brings us into right relationship with God, with our neighbors, and with the land we inhabit.
