Season of Creation

Listen to the Voice of Creation

The theme for 2022 reminds us of the voices of those who suffer the impacts of climate change.  These are voices of people who hold generational wisdom about how to live gratefully within the limits of the land.  These are voices of a diminishing diversity of more-than-human species.  It is the voice of the Earth.

The Season of Creation, originally launched by the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople in 1989, has been progressively joined by other Christian churches, with Pope Francis announcing the Roman Catholic Church’s participation in 2016.

The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through repenting, repairing, and rejoicing together.  During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home.

This year, amid the natural disasters and crises that have shaken the world, we’re awakened to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and each other.  During the Season of Creation, we enter a time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth, that requires radically new ways of living with creation.

The Season of Creation unites the world’s 2.2 billion Christians around one shared purpose.  With so much injustice all around us, now is the time for Christians everywhere to come together and show the world how to love each other and creation.
