Environmental Stewardship Commission  (MEESC)

The Environmental Stewardship Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota (MEESC) is collecting environmental and earth-centered reflections, sermons, and commentaries on the lectionary readings.  These readings are filed by the liturgical years. Please click on the appropriate Liturgical Year or topic, below:

• Year A

last: Advent 2004 through Pentecost 2005  
next: Advent 2007 through Pentecost 2008
• Year B

last: Advent 2002 through Pentecost 2003
next: Advent 2005 through Pentecost 2006 Current Year  
• Year C

next: Advent 2006 through Pentecost 2007
• Saints
• Holy Days and Feast Days

We have also begun a discussion of Creation Texts in Scripture. This study was written in response to a several discussions at and between MEESC meetings concerning foundations of creation found in Scripture.  There is a need to do more than just write ad hoc pieces for lectionary texts.  We do better to look at the big picture, at least have in mind an outline of major creation texts, and keep before us the major issues in biblical interpretation. You are invited to join the discussion with reflections,  thoughts, and other concerns that this article may raise in your spiritual and ecological journeys.

The MEESC assumes that all correspondence received is for publication on this web site. If your comments are not for publication, please so note on your correspondence. The MEESC reserves the right to decide which items are included on the web site.
