EarthAbbey - a new way forward

Categories: EarthAbbey |

16/02/15 | Posted by breaking wave | Permalink | (0) Comments

Many thanks to all of you who have taken an interest in this site over the years. I am delighted to announce today the launch of a new website, which will keep all our members and friends up to date with relevant developments, but, which may also appeal to a broader audience. The website is www.withwingslikeeagles.org. I have written to many of you about these developments and would like to thank you for your very warm responses to this change of tack. I believe that the new approach is full of promise and may better serve our continuing purpose - to encourage one another to live more in harmony with the earth.
Please use the subscription tab on the front page of the new site if you would like an email of each post as it is published.
There will not be more than two per month.
Best wishes to you all, I look forward to keeping in touch. Chris Sunderland

Yet 2014 may go down in the record books in another sense. At this point it looks like it may be the hottest year ever in terms of global surface temperature.

Have you come across John Clare? If you like eco poetry, you will like this. He was a man born in a country village, who experienced the enclosures and wrote about it in the most remarkable, unpretentious and heartfelt poetry.

Easter Essay

Categories: Library |

The last few months I have been beavering away on a new book, provisionally entitled ‘A Faith you can believe in’. It aims to describe the relationship between faith and culture, working from the basics like What is truth? What is culture? etc, describing faith narratives in the context of the overall quest for well-being and assessing their potential for engagement with the environmental challenges that we face today. It has been a challenging task to write. Today I release a short extract based on Easter.

We have had floods, we have had wind but we have had no winter. The UK has remained resolutely mild while Canada and the US experience extreme cold, Australia new heat and Brazil enters a serious drought. In the face of these first signs of climate change, this month’s diary encourages us to reflect on the inner life and its importance for inspiring and shaping our actions.

As the UK goes through an extraordinarily wet and windy season we reflect on extreme weather events, the inability of secular national democracies to coordinate a response to climate change and ask - Is there a place for faith here? Is God speaking to us?

As floods and storms hit the UK, this reflection concerns celebration, includes a fascinating response of a dog to loss, as well as pruning vines as a metaphor for the choices we make as we set out on a New Year.

EarthAbbey Diary December 9th 2013 - Whom shall I send?

I grew up expecting a bloodbath in South Africa. It seemed like there was just no other possibility. Then Nelson Mandela was released from prison and was able to demonstrate such free and full forgiveness, such personal dignity and grace, that the whole situation was transformed. I wonder at this remarkable story and what it says for the people of this day.
