Wild Church will meet on Saturday, October 23rd at 12pm for a special gathering to celebrate the Church of the Wild book written by our own Victoria Loorz. Victoria helped Echoes launch our Wild Church in 2019. She will guide us in a reflection, wandering and time of meditation in Marine Park on the Fairhaven waterfront.

β€œThe natural world - that world where we already belong - is an alluring invitation into the sacred, into relationship with something larger. And that very sacred presence invites us into the wild. The whole process is holy. It is dynamic, a reciprocity, a loving conversation, a relationship - one that includes me and you and God and the whole wild, alive world.” (Victoria Loorz, 67)

All are welcome to this unique service, acknowledging that being in conversation with nature, right where we are is a sacred act. To learn more about Victoria or about Church of the Wild, check out the website here: https://www.victorialoorz.com/

From ancient times it has been widely acknowledged that there are Two Books from which we can know God: Scripture and Nature. Echoes is affiliated with The Wild Church Network, and engages in the practice of outdoor worship with Wild Church once a month.
