The theme for Creationtide, the 'Season of Creation,' 2025 is peace with creation, based on Isaiah 32:14-18.  As the Church of England relates;

The prophet Isaiah pictured the desolated Creation without peace because of the lack of justice and the broken relationship between people and God. This description of devastated cities and wastelands reveals how human destructive behaviours have a negative impact on the Earth.

Our hope: Creation will find peace when justice is restored. There is still hope and the expectation for a peaceful Earth. To hope does not mean to stand still and quiet, but to act, pray, change, and reconcile with Creation and the Creator in unity, repentance and solidarity.

Across the Diocese in Europe this year, we will be focusing on empowering our chaplaincies to practically explore the theme and engage in positive changes, however small.  Here is an outline of what you can expect:

Chaplaincy resources
