It may be that part of being human is to feel a connection with nature. For Jews, Christians, and Muslims, God’s Creation can inspire reflection, reverence, and stewardship; for Buddhists, Hindus, and Taoists, followers embrace an invisible spiritual link between nature and humans beings; and for indigenous peoples, the Earth and all life is sacred and can impart spiritual wisdom.
This recorded Zoom program, organized by the the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council, presented examples of art, music, poetry, and stories from Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Native American, Catholic, Sukyo Mahikari, Sufi, and other faith traditions, reflecting how each faith finds reverence, care, wisdom, and hope from a relationship and engagement with Creation. Our hope is that these offerings will echo and help deepen the reverence and care already present in your heart.
