Vicar's letter<br />
GOD’S BELOVED CREATION<br />
— REVD KAT CAMPION-SPALL<br />
ASSOCIATE VICAR<br />
YOU CAN’T IGNORE IT — over the last<br />
few months more and more people seem<br />
to be taking seriously the possibility that we<br />
are in crisis. And by we, I mean all the inhabitants<br />
of this planet. From 16-year-old Greta Thunberg’s<br />
mobilisation of children and young people<br />
around the world, which has rippled up through<br />
other generations, to the wisdom of 93-year-old<br />
David Attenborough’s advocacy for the planet he<br />
has studied and showcased over a lifetime, more<br />
and more people are becoming aware of the impact of human life on our<br />
planet and our need to radically reassess how we live.<br />
At the end of May, I was in Salisbury Cathedral, on the day Gaia, an artwork<br />
by Luke Jerram was installed — a 7m-wide globe, hanging in the crossing,<br />
gently turning. To worship in the cathedral with the world turning a few<br />
metres away was an extraordinary experience — as the person leading<br />
evensong said, “so huge, and yet ironically so small” as the earth is 1.8<br />
million times larger than Jerram’s globe. Part of his intention with this work<br />
is to try and offer people a taste of “the overview effect” experienced by<br />
many astronauts. Seeing the whole earth from space can have a profound<br />
impact on people, as the earth’s fragility suddenly becomes clear, and the<br />
need to protect it self-evident — but also the barriers and divisions created<br />
by humans disappear, and a sense of the possibility of a planetary society<br />
uniting to protect the earth becomes real.<br />
Part of our Christian calling is to look beyond ourselves — we do this when<br />
we reach out towards God, but also when we are open to our neighbour,<br />
to the stranger, the person who is different from us. And we are also called<br />
to look beyond ourselves to the whole of creation. Dan mentioned the “5<br />
marks of mission” in his APCM remarks; the fifth is “to strive to safeguard<br />
the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth.”<br />
