Review: Gill Holmes, one of the group leaders in Kings Heath who led the meetings on our study guide wrote:-
The Study Guide on creation was a very user friendly resource. It consisted of general information about environmental issues and the Christian response to the stewardship of God’s Creation. Whilst a complete resource in itself, it also allowed for further theological research alongside practical approaches to take, as Christians in God’s world, both locally and globally. Biblical passages and prayers were a good focus for self and group examination of our role and impact in the world today.
