Lament & Hope: 40 prayers for the Climate and Ecological Emergency
It’s hard to face the state of the world at the moment, isn’t it? We think prayer must be our first response and we are proud to host a downloadable pdf of 40 powerful prayers written by Revd Jon Swales.
Talking about Jon’s prayers, Andrew Norman co-chaplain of Green Christian, says,
If we love the natural world, of which we are part, it must hurt when we face what is happening to this earth. Can we keep the flame of hope alight, that all will not be lost, and that a new balance will eventually be secured? Surely it takes faith to hold love and hope together? This is what Jon Swales can help us to do with his valuable anthology of prayers for the climate and ecological emergency. To pray in this world is to be open to God’s gifts of faith, hope and love – despite everything.
