Responding to the Call of Creation: What Can We Do at St Robert’s?

On the button below you can download 'The Call of Creation', issued by the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and referred to by Bishop Marcus in his recent pastoral letter. For those who have expressed an interest in exploring this area in a parish context, please do read this document and, in the next couple of weeks, we will set up a meeting open to all who would like to take part in this initiative.

The Call of Creation teaches that care for our common home flows directly from our faith in God as Creator: it requires a conversion of heart that changes the way we live, challenges structures which damage the earth and its poorest people, and leads us to exercise responsible stewardship of creation for present and future generations.
