The Season of Creation celebrated from 1st September to 4th October is a special period in the liturgical calendars of a growing number of churches in Europe and beyond. It has been a tradition for ECEN to support activities in this period and encourage churches, church groups, parishes, and individuals to get engaged.
Season of Creation has become a respected period reminding the responsibility of churches and individuals for the creation and the world around them. An overview of events that took place around the world in 2022 is available here.
You may become part of a global community in celebrating the Season of Creation in your place. Would you wish to get more information, you may consult the website of Season of Creation. You are invited to share information about activities in your place as well with ECEN at http://ecen.org/creation-time.
The Season of Creation theme for 2023 is “Let Justice and Peace Flow,” drawn from the cry of the prophet Amos: “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5: 24). As people of faith, we are called to join the river of justice and peace, to take up climate and ecological justice, and to speak out with and for communities most impacted by climate injustice and the loss of biodiversity.
On June 5, the Celebration Guide will be introduced in a global webinar to be streamed on YouTube. The Celebration Guide will then be made available in many languages, including Spanish, French, and Arabic, on the Season of Creation website. Information about the webinar will be posted here and on the Season of Creation YouTube site closer to the date.
There will be Global Prayer Celebrations on September 1 and October 4. The YouTube link for these events will be posted on the Season of Creation website closer to those times.
