Produktbeschreibung

'Shot through with hope.' STEPHEN COTTRELL, ARCHBISHOP OF YORK




'Like Bach's great Wachet auf! chorale, this walk through the weeks of Advent is both a carefully constructed meditation, and an unsettling call to action.' NEIL MacGREGOR, ART HISTORIAN

Climate change is the most important, urgent issue of our day but while there are technical and political issues, the fundamental poblem with the fight against climate change is spiritual.

In Sleepers Wake, the Archbishop of York's Advent Book for 2022, Nicholas Holtam explores how we can combat the obstacles to tackling the reality of climate change. With exhilaration and passion, he draws on his experience as former Church of England lead Bishop for the environment to urge us to transform ourselves, spiritually and culturally, so we can all do our part to preserve our world for future generations.

Split into four sections for the four weeks of Advent, these practical suggestions and reflective meditations about climate change and the environment are set alongside beautiful fine art paintings relevant to the season.

The Archbishop of York's Advent Book for 2022 can be used as a study for both individuals and small groups, to help you get the most out of the season. With inspiring and motivating prompts for both prayer and action, Sleepers Wake encourages Christians to see Advent as an opportunity to wake up to the reality of climate change and hear God's call to renew the earth.

Radical change is difficult, but as Nicholas Holtam unforgettably reminds us in Sleepers Wake, it is something we all need to be a part of for the sake of our children and for the future God's world.
