Get Active for Nature workshop

Be inspired by the wonderful ways in which individuals and community groups are looking after their patch of bush, local rivers, creeks and wetlands.
From tree planting to bird watching, weeding and even poetry writing, there are hundreds of ways ordinary Victorians are "getting active for nature".
This workshop is part of the 2010 Sustainable Living Festival and has been organised by the Victorian National Parks Association and Victoria Naturally Alliance.
The workshop will be held in the 'The Feel Tent' on Saturday, 20 February, at 1pm. For more information visit the VNPA website.

Important Lessons from the Bible

Why Jesus came:
"that the world might be saved through him"
John 3:17

Who Jesus is going to use to save the world:
"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God."
Romans 8:19

Our role on earth:
"The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it."
Genesis 2:15

The Five Pillars of A Christian Theology of Sustainability

1. God is the creator, sustainer and redeemer of creation.

2. Covenantal Stewardship (we have a covenant with God as stewards of the earth).

3. The creation-fall-redemption paradigm (God made a good world; human failure broke the relationships between god, man and creation; Christ provides hope for all creation).

4.Bodily resurrection(we will rise with bodies, not as spirits)

5.New Creation (a new Heaven and new Earth refers to a renewal and an earthing of heaven, not starting over).
