In honor of Earth Week, join the Sacred Earth: Growing Beloved Community webcast on April  27th at 7:00 PM as we welcome the Rev. Canon from Mampong-Ashanti, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Gilbert is the Canon Theologian of the Anglican Diocese of Asante Mampong in Ghana and is in the Bay Area pursuing his Ph.D. at the GTU in Berkeley. Together we will explore the topic of Radically Re-thinking Sustainability and the Church’s Mission to put the needs of people and the earth at the heart of church life. Gilbert’s degree in Agriculture and his love of theology and the Bible come together in his work which explores what Hebrew scriptures can tell us about sustainable agriculture today. And in this exploration of scripture, sustainability, and ecology, Gilbert is looking at how the church as a whole and we as people understand our connection to the earth. Come join us to hear how closely our concerns and questions about the planet echo with those of this area of Ghana and how we might learn from one another as we seek to reconnect to the earth as our mother.
