Following the ecumenical webinar of March 18-19, these subsequent workshops will explore the possibilities for liturgical prayers, the new biblical readings for the Revised Common Lectionary, and other worship resources to implement the "Feast of Creation" (also known as the "Feast of Creation in Christ").
Facilitated by members of the Feast steering committee, the sessions are intended specifically for liturgists to explore in more depth the possibilities for liturgical texts, creating space for cross-pollination between liturgy commissions implementing the new Feast. The first two workshops will be highly interactive, by drafting and performing texts together (the third one on the RCL lectionary readings will be slightly different in format).

PREPARATORY HOMEWORK:
- Read the 'Theological Overview of the Feast of Creation'.
- Liturgical prayers (either pre-existing ones or ad hoc texts for the new Feast) are being compiled as a source of inspiration for the churches, to be shared with other participants ahead of the workshops (and to be featured in an upcoming hub of Feast resources). Please submit relevant resources from your church: see Open Call for Liturgical Resources.
