Carolyn Sanderson worships in Walton Churches Partnership. As well as a writer, she is also a teacher and ran many courses for Milton Keynes Mission Partnership under the banner of coMPass.
Her new book, The Sacramental
Garden, is out now on Amazon.
The Sacramental Garden is a sequence of poetic meditations focused around the events and seasons of the Church’s year, inspired by time spent in the author’s own garden. The reflections are suitable for personal meditation or liturgical use.
The first chapters of Genesis tell us not only of God’s generosity in bestowing
on humankind the fruitful earth, but also the responsibility we bear, a
responsibility all too sadly neglected now, to our own detriment. The forbidden
tree is still there, we are still tempted, and human pride and greed have once
more driven us from Eden. And yet… God is still there, still a part of his own
creation through the Incarnation. In all our foolishness God is still to be
found, and one place where we can most readily encounter God is in a garden,
where we become co-creator with the one who has gifted it to us.
