Summary
This week I spent my days doing two main things. During the beginning of the week and last week, I have been studying the book of Daniel, which will be part of our focus for our summer series that we are beginning today.
And then on Friday and Saturday I was on a retreat with Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary called Trees of Life. We learned a lot about these amazing parts of creation and how they might connect with our faith.
In learning more about trees, I was filled with awe at the natural world- its beauty and complexity, and the amazing things we are still uncovering about it
And, as often happens when considering our environment, I feel despair and overwhelm at what we are doing to it.
But in my reading in preparation for this retreat, I came across tree researcher Suzanne Simmard. And she has hope. She says that the first thing we must do is re-imagine ourselves as part of this network.
Which brings me to the second focus for our summer series- wild church.
