The current Social Justice Statement from the national Bishops, ‘Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor’ will be explored over two workshops. The first workshop will discuss the Statement on the ecological crisis considering those most affected.  The sustainability wisdom of First Nations Peoples will also be explored with wisdom from Scripture and Catholic Social Teaching being incorporated for prayerful reflection and discernment. The second workshop will discuss ways of bringing the urgent call to action to care for our common home to life  – within parishes (and hubs), schools and families with the goals from the Laudato Si’ Action Platform being our guide. Other opportunities to engage with creation through eyes of wonder and awe (rather than exploitation) will also be discussed. ‘God saw everything that He had made, and indeed, it was very good’ – Genesis 1:31.
