On October 16 we concluded the Eaarth series, which start with a coffin in the sanctuary as we looked at the death of the earth through the classic states of grief (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance). We now (October 23 – November 20) shift gears to a “happier” theme – friendship – in which we look at the “theology of friendship for wilderness wanderers” that moves us forward as a community of the faithful in a time of intense challenge. In this series we will re-envision Christian faith and practice from the ground up, based on a foundation of friendship with God, Neighbor, Earth, and Self.
