Now Enrolling Province I Parishes for the Path

An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice is a four-level program now being developed in Massachusetts to encourage and support our congregations to amplify and accelerate their response to the climate emergency.

After a successful pilot, An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice is growing in Fall 2024. Parishes around Province I can sign up by the end of August to explore their unique Path.

Path parishes will have a trained Companion walking with them as they discern how their parish can deepen their commitment to caring for creation by Praying, Learning, Acting, and Advocating. Path parishes will also be in fellowship with each other via monthly Zoom gatherings.

If you think your parish might be interested, speak with your rector and vestry and reach out to Rev. Rachel Field and Deb Baker at episcopalcreationpath@gmail.com

Learn more about An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice

"We meet twice a month via Zoom beginning in September and ending in March. Our primary focus is rooted in prayerful listening to God using a format of group spiritual direction taught by Shalem Institute.

Our aim in our gatherings is to listen more deeply and intently to God's gentle and loving desire for each one of us. Or to put it another way, 'to stand at the crossroads and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies, so that we may walk in it and find rest for our souls.'

We look forward to the possibility of walking together with you!

Registration is now open for 2024-25. For details, including our schedule, please go to our website at www.lovingthequestions.org."
