The Eucharist, a gospel sacrament and central feature of life in the Christian church, also holds “green” significance for our faith practice today. But it’s a coloring of the sacramental rite we may not often recognize. This webinar aims to highlight those less-noticed features of classic eucharistic liturgy that already embody a vital, transformational vision of engagement with the fullness of God’s creation. In this light the eucharistic feast enacts not only the believer’s communion with God in Christ, but also the inherently ecological principle of interchange among human worshippers and with every other member of God’s created order.
