During the upcoming Jubilee Year, we are invited to reflect on six issues challenging us to live the Jubilee in our churches and communities today. One of these issues is Care for Creation. We hear in Genesis that “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.” (Genesis 2: 15). As Christians we are inspired to be good stewards of the earth, to conserve and protect the earth’s resources.
Caritas Diocese of Plymouth would like to collect and share photographs of our Diocese by parishioners on the theme of Care for Creation. The pictures can be either people or places in the Diocese of Plymouth.
We would like to explore three themes that call to mind the reflected glory of the Lord in the beautiful world we are asked to care for. The themes are Beauty, Good Choices and Humanity. We want to hear and see the positive actions that people are taking to care for creation as well as the challenges we face.
- Beauty – What about God’s creation, inspires you, brings you joy, and makes you draw deeper in relationship with him?
- Good Choices – How do we change direction and look after the earth and all that is in it? What are the good choices we can put into our everyday living?
- Humanity – Where do you see God’s love in action played out around you?
We invite you to share with us your photographs that explore each of these three themes. Each photograph can be submitted using this link. where you will also find information about how the pictures will be used.
We invite you to give your photo a title that completes the sentence We care for creation………. An explanation can also be added.
Any photographs which could identify a person will need to be accompanied with a model release form, found on the same link. Thank you for your participation. We look forward to receiving and sharing your work.
If you have any questions about this project please email caritas@prcdtr.org.uk.
