The Fifth Mark of Mission ? ?to strive to
safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain
and renew the life of the earth? ? is sometimes
seen as the neglected Mark across the Communion.
Lent next year offers another opportunity to
redress this, with the help of a course coming
out of the work of the Bible in the Life of the Church project.

The five-week course will enable individuals and
groups to engage with a Bible-wide range of
scriptural passages that speak of our
responsibilities in relation to the environment.
It will also offer reflections on how Anglicans
in different parts of the Communion engage with
the Bible with discussion questions that challenge our thinking and behavio ur.

The course will be available both on the web, and
available as booklet. It will be available before
Advent 2011 but, you will be able to sample the
course on line during September, and order booklets for use in 2012.

The Anglican Communion Standing Committee highly
recommended this course at their meeting earlier this year. Look out for it!
