Connecting Scripture and Creation

EarthWords is a weekly email of "creation flavored thoughts on the lectionary texts".  Sometimes it's just noticing and cherishing the natural images in the text, sometimes it spins off into environmental and ecological issues.

EarthWords for Aug 24, 2008

These are preliminary thoughts which I hope will just become part of the background as people read and study these lessons. Frankly, one of my target audiences is clergy who are preparing worship services.  Each week there is an EarthPrayer, and also a suggestion of "One Thing to Do" both of which hopefully reflect the themes in the scripture passages.

EarthWords are written by me - Charlie West.  I am a retired United Methodist pastor living in Marquette, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior.  I started writing and emailing them out in August of 2006.  This EarthWords website came into being in August of 2007. 
 

(Why does the URL address line say www.home.earthlink.net/~cwearthwordsBecause this is a "domain redirect" from www.EarthWords.org to some free webspace I have at Earthlink.  You could click on either one - EarthWords.org is just simpler to say!)
