Just in time for Lent - Carbon Fast 2015
prepared by Canon Ken Gray, Anglican Church of Canada, for the Anglican Communion Environmental Network
|
|
We are pleased to present another Carbon Fast challenge for Lent 2015.
Traditionally many Christians commit to a discipline of fasting at certain times of the year, including for some Holy Week and Lent itself. Such a discipline helps to focus the mind on things spiritual and represents an offering to God.
Extending this practice environmentally helps us consider our stewardship of God's Creation, for which Christ lived and died, and which Christ will restore in God's Holy time.
Until then we live in between creation itself and the gathering together of all things, in Christ. As we live between our own human birth and death, we are free to live responsibly and act ethically, especially concerning our engagement with creation.
The carbon fast will help you be more aware of practices which threaten creation, and God's handiwork; Likewise the carbon fast will direct our hearts and minds to beauty.
We hope you will make use of the carbon fast which can be downloaded at
