St. Andrew's Spiritual Reading Group will hold its next meeting on Saturday, November 21st from  9:00 am to 10:30 am via Zoom. The reading selection for the upcoming months is a book highly recommended by Rev. Catie Green and several of our parishioners entitled Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. On Saturday, the 21st we will be discussing the first 60 pages of the book.

As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers.  In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these lenses of knowledge  together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are we capable of understanding the generosity of the Earth, and learning to give our own gifts in return.  

We hope you can join us in this adventure.
