But we thought you might like to know it’s happening! \nPoet and theologian Loren Wilkinson has spent his life thinking\, teaching\, and campaigning about the environment—or creation\, as he prefers to call it. In an era that has seen growing concern about climate change and the impact of industry and technology\, Professor Wilkinson has insisted that this is a critical sphere for Christian thought and action. From their home on Galiano Island off the coast of British Columbia\, he and his wife\, Mary-Ruth Wilkinson\, have encouraged generations of students to think long and hard about the meaning of creation and of our responsibility as creatures within it. \n\nWhat can be done to address the enormous issues facing our fragile and threatened planet?\nIs it possible to live confidently and creatively in the face of massive problems such as pollution and the acidification of the oceans?\nWhat hope is there of making peace with creation?\n\nIn this hour-long film\, made with the assistance of a team of students from Regent College\, Loren Wilkinson goes in search of answers to these pressing questions. Through personal reflections (set both in the beautiful Gulf Islands where he lives and in the urban context of Vancouver\, where he continues to teach)\, stimulating conversations with leading thinkers\, artists and activists\, and specially created art work\, together with extracts from his poetry\, Loren Wilkinson presents his own compelling and beautiful vision for human life in the 21st century. \nMaking Peace with Creation will premiere at Regent College on Wednesday\, December 7th at 7:00 pm.

From away spaces for contemplation and renewal that invite us into the presence of God\, to gathering places for fun\, food and fellowship where we reach out to others\, the garden is a place where we both offer and receive hospitality. \nA Rocha’s Community Garden Network is hosting a seminar on “Creating Hospitality in the Garden”. As a follow-up from last year’s Spirituality of Gardening Seminar\, we have invited Christine Sine again\, to share with us her experience in creating sacred garden spaces that share God’s welcome with others. She will be joined by her colleague\, Andy Wade\, who will share how he transformed his garden into an amazing space of hospitality to both God and neighbour. \n  \n \n  \nJoin us as we we explore the many ways we can create hospitable spaces that invite the presence of God and neighbors into our gardens. Reflect with us on the ways that sights\, scents\, textures and sounds can create welcome and invite us into a deeper relationship with God and others. \nLocation: Main House at our Brooksdale Environmental Centre in Surrey\, BC\nTime: 9am – 12pm\nCost: $35\, Early-Bird rate $30 ends Oct.1\, 2016.\nSign up: Secure online link  URL:https://arocha.ca/event/hospitality-in-the-garden-seminar/ LOCATION:A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environmental Centre\, 1620 192 St\, Surrey\, British Columbia\, V3Z 9V2\, Canada CATEGORIES:Brooksdale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Hospitality-in-the-garden-EVENT-final.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20160910T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20160910T133000 DTSTAMP:20260427T140117 CREATED:20160728T222151Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160923T204609Z UID:17518-1473501600-1473514200@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Volunteer Day (Surrey\, BC) DESCRIPTION:Come care for creation at our Brooksdale Environmental Centre! Wear weather-appropriate clothing for working outside\, and bring gloves if you have them. \nSchedule: \n10am – Meet at the patio\n12:30pm – Site tour\n1pm – Free lunch for volunteers \nPlease RSVP Here\nWe’d love to know how many to expect for lunch 🙂 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n[youtube id=”o6AhwaJ9u0U” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”&rel=0″ class=””] URL:https://arocha.ca/event/brooksdale-volunteer-day-september-2016/ LOCATION:A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environmental Centre\, 1620 192 St\, Surrey\, British Columbia\, V3Z 9V2\, Canada CATEGORIES:BC Volunteer Days,Brooksdale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Post-feature-image-2016-Volunteer-Day1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20160827T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20160827T123000 DTSTAMP:20260427T140117 CREATED:20160613T151156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160923T204901Z UID:16759-1472288400-1472301000@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Restoration Saturday (Surrey\, BC) DESCRIPTION:Join A Rocha’s Brooksdale conservation team for a morning of habitat restoration and enhancement.\nGet your hands dirty planting native trees and shrubs\, removing exotic invasive vegetation (such as Himalayan blackberry or English Ivy)\, building fences to keep livestock away from watercourses\, creating new wetlands and much more. \nThe team will meet at Brooksdale Environmental Centre (1620 192 St – Surrey\, BC) and will travel to the restoration site from there. All ages welcome to participate!
