SEASON OF CREATION 2024 WEEK 5
WEEK 5 Sunday 29th September
NB Some may wish to conclude the Season here, though the proximity of 4th October to a further Sunday means that our resources, and those around the world, continue.
Overview Week 5
We should note that the Esther reading is extremely difficult to use in this Season of Creation without spending much time on the entirety of the narrative. Psalm 124 recalls God’s intervention through Creation, on the side of justice; Number 11 takes us through the problems of leading a badly-informed, traumatised people, the virtues of delegation and the liberation of letting others get on with what we cannot manage! James veers into hopeful mode in a consideration of the great benefits of Christian community, and for control freaks in the church, there are few more salutary passages in the Gospel than Mark 9 which includes “Whoever is not against us is for us.!”
