A Time for Creation 2nd Edition: Liturgical Resources for Creation and the Environment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780715124420)

When A Time for Creation was first published in 2020, it affirmed that the praise of God as Creator belongs at the heart of Christian worship. Its resources have helped churches pray with thanksgiving for creation, repent of humanity's misuse of the earth's gifts, take responsibility for the created world, and hear the voice of creation itself in prayer. This revised and expanded Second Edition comes at a significant moment in the life of the Church of England. It includes liturgical resources for the new Festival of Creation in Christ, through which the Church joins a growing ecumenical movement to celebrate the God who creates, sustains, reconciles and renews all things. Rooted in the Church's confession that all things were created through Christ, are held together in Christ, and are destined for renewal in Christ, the Festival gathers and deepens the Church's prayer, preaching and action for creation. Alongside the new liturgical material, this edition offers commentary from the Liturgical Commission and practical guidance to help parishes, schools, chaplaincies and other communities use the resources with confidence and imagination. Together they invite congregations to confess the ways we have claimed God's world as our own, to hear again that all things were created through Christ and for Christ, and to receive the promise that God makes all things new.
