Welcome to an exciting world: Creation!

Since 2005, "Sustainable preaching" has been offering ecumenical preaching suggestions and a new dynamic to align the lectionary Bible readings of the Sundays into the global context of sustainable life and action.
If you are interested in what Christian discipleship has to do with sustainability, or if you already know this and would like to know how to communicate this knowledge, you have come to the right place! If you are a clergy person and want to use these suggestions for your sermons, that is also great!
