Christians from across Europe gathered in Geneva last week for a special four-day consultation on the celebration and continued preservation of God’s creation.
Twenty-five theologians and liturgists gathered from all across Europe and all denominations for the consultation on Christian Spirituality organised by the European Christian Environmental Network (ECEN) and the International Reformed John Knox Centre.
It was unanimously agreed at the consultation that more space was needed to honour God as Creator and reflect on the preservation of the environment within the Christian calendar.
“We have reaffirmed the proposal to establish a ‘Creation Time’ within the Christian yearly calendar,” said Swiss theologian and chair of the consultation, Lukas Vischer.
