Rooted in Hope - Building Diversity book launch: at Christians Aware Summer School July 2025


Reading this is a veritable "Readers Digest" experience - a joy to read - A book with decent sized readable print - with colour pictures,  friendly diagrams, and with articles of different length you can dip into whenever you fancy a read.

Over 25 main contributors present enjoyable informative chapters then there is a section on poems and another on resources.

There are articles on topics from Kew Gardens to Cocoa, from Peat to Salt Marshes, from the Columban Essay Competition to Prayers, from Eco Church to Therapeutic Gardening - plus dozens of other hidden gems.

It is the title of the Christians Aware new book. It is due to have its official launch on 6 September 2025 which will be at St Paul's Church, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 1JP.

The organisation Christians Aware has a summer school each year at Parcevall Hall. Last year the theme was "Building Biodiversity". Barbara Butler invited me to write a chapter on Lichens. They had enjoyed the Lichens session I had run for them in 2023.

So now the book is here! 

I recognise five other contributors who live in the Craven Area - people who have given talks to Christians Aware or who the group has visited. I recognise at least three members of Green Christian. 

See christiansaware.org.uk

The book costs £15 but has been part subsidised. 

Here is a picture of me showing the book to Rev Stephen Dawson in Settle at the Coffee Morning this week 23 July at St John's Methodist Church
