Sorry, that should have been hope.
I vaguely remember a day, long long ago, when the church used to pray for people, often for their salvation. Today the church prays for the planet and its salvation. Such is the price of progress.
This is a prayer from the Lambeth Conference:
Forgive us for our insensitivity and carelessness with the environment, instigate us to fight for socio-environmental preservation and for the end of the climate crisis, taking care and woking (sorry working my keyboard is misbehaving) for the preservation of species and the maintenance of life on earth, as living proof of our conversion to the way of Jesus Christ.
I can see the next Lambeth conference is going to be a woke (sorry a lot, dratted keyboard) of fun.
Woke, like a zombie

I like her top but purple doesn’t suit her
“instigate us to fight for socio-environmental preservation”
Funny how the term “socio-environmental preservation” doesn’t get a mention in the scriptures.
Could centuries of Biblical scholars and theologians have somehow missed it perhaps?
Yes, I’m sure that’s it.
We are learning new terms every day, e.g. Trumpism, alternative truths, vaccine nationalism, etc.
It wouldn’t be half so bad if the person pictured were not wearing a polyester shirt that will spew microplastics everywhere when it is washed.
