SUMMARY:Ecological Grief and Exploring Hope Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Image Courtesy of Bob Haverluck\, “When God was Flesh and Wild: Stories in Defence of the Earth” (2017 \, Liturgical Press).\nJoin us for a panel discussion on Ecological Grief and Exploring Hope in partnership with Canadian Mennonite University on Wednesday April 28th at 7 pm\, (CST) via zoom. \nThe climate crisis is a pressing matter. As we are witnesses to the many ways the Earth has been exploited and damaged\, how do we hold space for the sorrow\, anger\, and guilt we may feel? Ecological grief is one of the ways of acknowledging and mourning the land\, people\, plants\, and animals which we have lost to climate change. Lament is a powerful communal act that helps us acknowledge sorrow and leads us away from despair. Ultimately\, lament is a profoundly hopeful act that provides us with a way forward\, knowing that change is possible through new ways of being and faith in the God of Creation. Through taking the time to mourn the earth\, we step forward in hope and action towards restoration and new life\, for the land and for ourselves as human beings.  \nInspired by an Independent Study on Ecological Grief at Canadian Mennonite University\, Kari Miller\, A Rocha Manitoba’s Environmental Education Coordinator\, will host a discussion exploring our grief and hope for creation amidst the climate crisis. \nSpeakers include:  \n\nMarta Bunnett Wiebe – Peace and Advocacy Coordinator with MCC Manitoba\, farmer\, and editor of the new book Germinating Conversations; Stories from a Sustained Rural-Urban Dialogue on Food\, Faith\, and the Land\nBob Haverluck – local artist\, theologian\, and ecological activist who uses storytelling and art to engage issues of violence against the earth and her creatures.\nZoe Matties – Program Manager for A Rocha Manitoba\, and co-founder of Wild Church Winnipeg an emerging community of worship.\nJosiah Neufeld – a local journalist and fiction writer who has spent much time thinking and acting upon the global climate crisis.\n\nThis event is free.
