Autumn 1995
at St Lawrence Church, The Square
The theme of this series of talks was Creation. The speakers looked at how current ideas in cosmology and in biology were influencing our concept of God; at the ideas of Creation in other world religions; at creativity as seen by the artist; at Creation Spirituality; and then how these ideas affect our own lives and our view of ecological issues.

Purity does not come in separation from but in a deeper penetration into the Universe … Bathe yourself in the ocean of matter; plunge into it where it is deepest and most violent; struggle in its currents and drink of its waters. For it cradled you long ago in your preconscious existence; and it is that ocean that will raise you up to God. |
Teilhard de Chardin: Hymn of the Universe |
O God of Wholeness, we rest in you …
You listen with us to the sound of running water, you sit with us under the shade of the trees of our healing, you walk once more with us in the garden in the cool of the day, the oil of your anointing penetrates the cells of our being, the warmth of your hands steadies us and gives us courage. O God of Wholeness, we rest in you … |
