SUMMARY:Ecology of Grace Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Every time we encounter the news here and around the world\, we are no longer able to avoid what seems like an onslaught of alerts about the state of our world amidst storms and floods\, fires\, and drought as levels and frequencies almost too much to bear. And yet\, as Robin Wall Kimmerer writes in The Serviceberry\, An Economy of Abundance\, “All flourishing is mutual.” \nHow do we live faithfully now? As a companion to our September worship centered upon the “Season of Creation\,” we are delving into how we relate to one another and our surroundings. In the field of biology this practice is the study of ecology. As people of faith how do we approach relating to one another and our world? Our ecology is grounded in grace. \nWe proclaim grace to be God’s gift and love for humanity. It shows up as mercy and forgiveness and love that we receive even when we don’t deserve it. It shows up as making spaces and people whole and holy. It shows up as new life and regeneration in spite of past lives and generations. It shows up as peace and not the constant clashing of wills. \nAnd it always shows up as a reminder that God will never call us disposable. We who are given this gift can then practice reflecting it in the world for the sake of the world. \nJoin five weeks of wisdom and insight on what an “Ecology of Grace” can look like and mean from a variety of perspectives:\nSeptember 10th – Rev. Dr Gil Waldkoenig\, United Lutheran Seminary\nSeptember 17th – Rev Dr. Chad Rimmer\, Dean and Rector\, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary\nSeptember 24th – Dr. Casey Sclar\, The Arboretum at Penn State\nOctober 1st – Dr. Charlie Vasey\, Penn State on building sustainable bio-economies\nOctober 8th – Lutheran Advocacy Ministry and closing Blessing of Creation \nEach week begins promptly at 6:15 pm and ends at 7 pm. \nAttend LIVE in the sanctuary at Grace Lutheran Church\,\n205 S Garner Street\, State College\, PA \nAttend LIVESTREAMED at: https://tinyurl.com/EcologyofGrace \nPost- session video will be available on our YouTube Channel:\nGrace Lutheran State College\, PA\nEmail pastorhetrick@glcpa.org with any questions \nJesus commands us to “love our neighbors as ourselves.” (Mark 12:31). Grace is a place for every body – all ages and stages; races and ethnicities; all sexual orientations\, gender identities\, and gender expressions; those living with neurodiversity\, disabilities and those who currently are not. As a community guided by the call of Jesus\, we are committed to growing in anti
