Feast of the Universe

AN INTERFAITH SOURCEBOOK OF ECOLOGICAL SPIRITUALITY

Compiled and Edited by Anne Rowthorn

Rowthorn has collected a series of liturgies from around the world to help worship planners and congregations develop liturgies that focus our attention on the earth, God as the Creator and our baptismal mandate to be stewards of the earth.

Of particular interest to pastors, church music directors, and worship leaders are the book's three appendices designed to aid their liturgical planning. "Celebrating God‟s Creation Throughout the Year" is a calendar noting thirty-eight occasions in every season that are auspicious times to organize earth festivals, community events and liturgies. "Environmental Hymns" is a list of sixty-four environmental hymns - many of them new - along with their references in ten standard hymnals commonly in use in the U.S.A., Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. "Ecological Themes in the Bible" is a starter list of Biblical ecological readings appropriate for use with a variety of liturgies.

This book is available for individual reading but does not allow the liturgies or prayers to be used in liturgy. Prayers and Liturgies E-Book and Earth Liturgies E-Book contain the same materials along with a reproduction license -- order the e-book versions (below)
