    An Ecological Examen

    As part of the Season of Creation, this episode will guide you through an Ecological Examen. The examen is a form of prayer which helps us to ponder the day, seeking where we have found God, asking for forgiveness for our mistakes, and deciding where to go from here. In a time of climate change there is much for us to think about. This episode brings those two things together to help us find resources for facing the reality of our contemporary world.
