Jenny Wilson’s Preaching for the Planet shares insights into the art of preaching before moving on to examples of her own preaching.
Alongside stories from the scriptures, Jenny's sermons reflect on lives affected by climate change and are interwoven with thoughts from theologians and climate activists such as Pope Francis and David Attenborough. Other sermons are focused on the pandemic, are inspired by poets and artists, and reflect on the life and words of Jesus.
These profound and moving sermons invite readers to know that their stories and the stories of the whole creation are held in the great story of God.
Thoughtful and prayerful preaching, as shown in this volume, opens doors into wider vistas of living more as God would have us do. I hope that Jenny’s prophetic voice, rooted in the scriptures, can inspire us to work to protect, conserve and restore our natural world. In such a way, we can play our part in mending the world in our own particular time and place.
from the foreword by Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich and Church of England Lead Bishop on the Environment
