This Month's Lecture

^{Wednesday 7th December, 7.30pm
Greenspirit: Path to a New Spiritual Conciousness}

Noel Harrower (Greenspirit)

Followed by tea, coffee and mulled cider

The talk is based on the book of this title, which was launched by Jonathon Porritt at St. James's Church in Piccadilly, London, July 2010. The book brings together the words and ideas of contemporary writers from a wide range of disciplines - including faiths and wisdom traditions - to create a manual for eco-spiritual, green and sustainable 21st century living. Grace Blindell, one of the contributors, reminds us that humanity is but one of the species on this planet, and a fairly late arrival, but our modern lifestyle is destroying the biosphere.

Noel Harrower is an Elder at Glenorchy United Reformed Church, Exmouth, and also a member of Greenspirit, a movement which searches for an authentic spirituality for our time, asking deep questions about the human spirit and its true relation with the planet.  He argues that we are the only known earthly species to be able to comprehend the cosmos and that our intelligence is God given. It must, therefore, be a major role for the church today to address this issue head on, while there is yet time.

The lectures are open to all and admission is FREE (there is a voluntary retiring collection). St. Michael’s Church is the church with the tall spire (Mount Dinham, Dinham Road, Exeter, EX4 4EB) by the Iron Bridge on North St./St. David’s Hill.
