Today, in St John’s at least, marks the first Sunday in the Church’s new season of ‘Creation’. This season is being observed in many churches in addition to the seasons we are used to – Advent, Christmas, Epiphany and so on. It punctuates the otherwise long season of ‘ordinary time’, or Trinity and is meant to bring a special focus on the created order. You might expect that we would start therefore with something from Genesis but unfortunately the lectionary hasn’t caught up yet so we have readings from Proverbs and Mark. And the Proverbs reading leads me to explore creation theology from the aspect of wisdom. Those of you with very long memories will remember that I preached on wisdom a month ago and that last year I led a Sacred Space on wisdom from the book of Ecclesiastes. So here we go again!
