Living in a Fragile World

Nurturing spiritual development through awe and wonder, this book addresses the issues of conservation in an open and non-threatening environment. Using readily-available vidual aids and fully-photocopiable templates and graphics, it invites children and adults alike to: reflect on the fragility of the earth; become more aware of the complexity of our interdependent lives; and consider how we might relate to each other in a sustainable and relational way. The sessions move week by week from the wider planetary view, to the land, the community, to the self. Each week as the story unfolds, the group is invited to recapture the interconnectedness of all things and something of the vision of God. Clear instructions are provided for preparing the three-dimensional materials, together with carefully-crafted scripts to guide the leader or storyteller through each of the five sessions.
