This Sunday we will be reflecting on the selection “Living Waters (Down in the River to Pray),” from Daniel Cooperrider’s inspired book Speak with the Earth and It Will Teach You, A Field Guide to the Bible.
The book its organized into four parts, one for each of the creation elements of water, fire, earth, and air. The attached selection is found in Part I – Rivers, and is the third selection connected to the water element. Of interest, ORUCC’s Care of Creation Mission Team is preparing for a full book discussion in the spring, with four sessions to discuss the four parts of the book.
Daniel describes his book as a “braided narrative.” He says, “the three most prominent strands that I weave are: 1) Biblical interpretation; 2) Philosophy or literature or science; 3) personal experience of being in nature and being in conversation with the elements of nature.”
These strands are aligned with many of the kinds of discussion we pursue at Java and Jesus. We look forward to reflecting together on this selection.
