Rob Kelsey Praying for the Earth

Annotation

Prayers for the environment are often missing from the intercessions in church on a Sunday morning, perhaps because we struggle to find the right words. Praying for the Earth is a resource for congregations and for individual Christians who believe that environmental concerns should be an integral part of the public and private prayers of all Christian people.The book is intended to be used as a supplement to the prayers of intercession in church on Sunday, and by individuals in their private prayers, so that praying for the earth becomes an "ordinary" part of our spiritual and daily life, rather than something that happens on a special occasion.The book may be used by those who lead intercessions in public worship, by groups of Christians whenever they pray together, and by individual Christians in their personal prayers.The prayers may be used unchanged, or adapted, or as an inspiration for praying in one's own words.
