In an era of climate emergency, The Canterbury Earth Justice Lectionary equips clergy, church leaders, and activists with a powerful tool to integrate ecological justice into the heart of worship and spiritual practice. Drawing from the rich traditions of scripture and creation, this ground-breaking volume provides a year-long Sunday lectionary and commentary that aligns the liturgical calendar with the rhythms of the Earth. Lectionary resources are also provided for celebrations like World Wetlands Day, Earth Day Sunday, National Bird Day and for innovative liturgical seasons such as the Season of Creation.
A major and innovative new resource for the creative parish and preacher, The Canterbury Earth Justice Lectionary will offer a deeply transformative approach to worship, preaching, and action—empowering churches to become prophetic voices for climate justice and caretakers of the Earth.
