But is the good news that Christians believe in\, relevant to these times? We will explore how it is\, and what it means for some of the most impoverished human communities and the threatened ecosystems that sustain them.\n \n“The good news of Jesus is meant to be written in the landscapes and not just in people’s lives.” – Peter Harris\n \n\n— \nAbout Peter Harris \nPeter and his late wife Miranda founded A Rocha\, a family of conservation organizations in over 20 countries working together to live out God’s calling to care for creation\, in 1983. The A Rocha story is told in Peter’s books\, Under the Bright Wings and Kingfisher’s Fire. A Cambridge graduate and Anglican minister\, Peter has served as Adjunct Faculty at Regent College\, Vancouver and Au Sable Institute\, Michigan. In his retirement\, he continues to serve A Rocha as a volunteer\, developing ways to create jobs and wealth and improve the environment instead of overexploiting it. In 2019\, Peter and Miranda were in a horrific road accident in South Africa\, which she did not survive\, and which he has since spoken about in lectures and on film. \n“Peter Harris is a persistent and most convincing witness that the Christ who saves and the Christ who creates are one and the same Christ\, that the care and celebration of creation is essential to a full evangelical witness of the Gospel of salvation.” – Eugene Peterson \n— \nNOTE: this event will not be recorded or livestreamed. \n— \nThis event is co-sponsored by A Rocha Canada\, the Canadian Scientific & Christian Affiliation\, and Trinity Western University (Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences\, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences\, Geography and Environment Department\, Trinity Western Environmental Club).

Do you wish more people shared your interest? Then join like-minded folks for a Church Earthkeepers Meet-Up. At these monthly sessions we’ll learn from each other by swapping stories as a way to encourage and equip us to catalyze earthkeeping at church. Come prepared to share your ideas and to hear what works for others as we build a network of regular people working to care for creation within a local church setting. \nThese online gatherings will take place the last Tuesday of every month at 5 PM – 6 PM Pacific Time (8 PM – 9 PM Eastern Time). \nThe following are the scheduled dates for the next four months: \n\nAugust 27\nSeptember 24\nOctober 29\nNovember 26\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails including the Zoom link will be available upon registration. \n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nBuy Tickets URL:https://arocha.ca/event/church-earthkeepers-meet-up-august-2024/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:BC Conservation,BC Special Events,Brooksdale,Manitoba,MB Special Events,Northern BC,ON Special Events,Online Programming,Ontario,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Day-1-Sessions-by-Tim-Hall001-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20240806T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20240809T150000 DTSTAMP:20260420T052613 CREATED:20240201T014552Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240201T030037Z UID:45243-1722934800-1723215600@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Share the Earth Day Camp 4 (Surrey\, BC) DESCRIPTION:Join us for Share the Earth Day Camp 4 (4 days)! \nWe will spend every day (9am-3pm) outdoors\, exploring the wetland\, forest and farmland at A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environmental Centre.
