The Season of Creation in the Christian calendar is observed from 1 September to 4 October. This season is dedicated to prayer, reflection and action for the care of God’s creation. Rooted and guided by the bible, it offers churches and individuals across denominations a shared opportunity to renew their relationship with the natural world. As environmental crises deepen, this season invites a faithful response, grounded in worship, repentance and hope, for us to live more gently and justly on the Earth.
The National Church theme this year is “Peace with Creation”, inviting Christians to reimagine and restore right relationships - not only with the Earth itself, but also between humanity and the Creator (Isaiah 32:1418). The symbol of the year is a dove carrying an olive branch, bringing life to a Garden of Peace, drawing fresh inspiration from the Genesis flood narrative, where the return of the dove signalled a new beginning and hope amid devastation.
For this diocese, the Bishop's Adviser for Creation Care and Climate Justice, Rev Dr Mike Perry, has offered some resources for churches to use in this season, including sermons and talks, prayers and questions for further discussion. You are invited to use and adapt these for your own context.
