Beginning February 1, 2025
“Love God, Love God’s World” is a nine-session, film-based curriculum, ideal for Episcopalians anywhere on the journey with creation care and environmental ministry – from newcomers looking to take their first step to seasonal leaders seeking a transformative small-group experience. The Diocese of Missouri is organizing a cohort with a kickoff meeting in February 2025.
Sessions have a similar structure to the popular Sacred Ground curriculum and include compelling films and readings, faith-based reflections, and discussion questions – each written by different contributors who draw from their own contexts and experiences. Participants will also discover ways to learn, pray, advocate, and conserve.
We hope everyone who participates in the curriculum becomes:
-
Comfortable speaking about their faith, care of creation, and climate change
-
Personally transformed and invited into different levels of personal and collective engagement on creation care and eco-justice
-
Confident about where to find creation care resources and information.
The Diocese of Missouri will host a cohort of participants in Love God, Love God’s World starting with a kickoff gathering on February 1, 2025, the traditional feast day of St. Brigid of Kildare, the Celtic patron saint of nature. Registration for this 9-session program is required and it is free to all members of the Diocese of Missouri. The facilitator is the Rev. Kevin McGrane, Missioner for Creation Care. For more information regarding the program and to register as a participant, email Rev. McGrane at kjpmcgrane@yahoo.com.
