Tim Harle, one of our Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs), joined over 70 fellow LLMs for a training morning at Norwich Cathedral on 7 March. The morning was split into two sessions:
- Let everything that has breath praise the Lord: the science and theology of climate change and nature loss, led by Bishop Graham.
What can I do in my life and my parish?, led by Barbara Bryant, Norwich Diocese Environment Officer and Norman Johnson, LLM in the Heart of Norfolk benefice and an Eco-Chaplain.
The morning started and ended with worship, and was followed by an excellent lunch courtesy of Bread Source.
Tim says we should watch out for snippets turning up in sermons in months to come. 'Bishop Graham dealt with some really big global issues, but I was also struck by practical examples from Barbara and Norman. It's not always that you get to consider big theological questions from the book of Genesis alongside choice of cleaning materials for church buildings'.
