The world is
charged with the grandeur of God,
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed, Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared
with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell:
the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
Gerard M. Hopkins.

Each day there will a presentation
in the morning which will give material to reflect
and meditate upon.
There will be an optional session in the evening
where we shall be using some audio-visual input
and a chance to share thoughts and reflections.
We shall spend some time enjoying
the beauties of creation and being aware of how
people can enhance creation and co-create with
God.
Without looking for other people,
or some other country to blame, we shall consider
our own part in environmental degradation.
Finally we shall look at our
call to work with God in responsible living as
stewards of Creation.
