Caring For Our Earthly Home

The Bible has much to say about God’s love for Creation and our shared responsibility to care for the earth, our home. Yet our common home is in danger. The crisis we face is due principally to our failure to see the connections that bind us to each other as family, and to our planet as home. Unpacking this simple yet revolutionary idea, and drawing out the implications for action, will be Dr Lorna Gold, Chair of the Laudato Si’ Movement. In her book, Climate Generation – Awakening To Our Children’s Future, Lorna takes an unflinching look at the threats posed by climate change for future generations and how we can respond. Her work with the Laudato Si’ Movement equips both the Catholic Church and those who share their concerns about climate change to deepen their understanding of environmental issues and take positive action. Expect to be challenged, encouraged and inspired.

There will also be music from Cork songwriter Clare Sands who is adding something creative and imaginative to the trad song. Her envelope pushing eponymous debut album blends and blurs musical genres, subject matter and the very languages themselves.
