cultures, Macfarlane invites us to consider a fascinating question: <strong>What changes when we think of a river not simply as a resource, but as something alive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our book club will meet three times, with each gathering focusing on the one of the three river stories that Macfarlane unfolds in the book\u2019s three sections: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>September 8, 2026<\/td><td>The Los Cedros, the River of the Cedars, in the Cloud Forest of Ecuador<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>September 22, 2026<\/td><td>The Kosasthalaiyar, Cooum, and Adyar, three rivers that merge in Chennai, India<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>October 6, 2026<\/td><td>The Mutehekau Shipu in Quebec<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come for one, two or all three \u2014 <strong>you don\u2019t need to attend every session to take part.<\/strong> Each conversation will offer its own opportunity to reflect, share and connect with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, we\u2019ll explore themes of relationship, responsibility and the rights of nature, connecting them with our <strong>Passionist commitment to care for Earth and respond to the cry of creation<\/strong>. The Season of Creation offers a special opportunity to deepen that commitment and consider how our faith calls us into greater relationship with our common home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come ready to share, listen and wonder together: <strong>What can rivers teach us about our place within creation \u2014 and how might they inspire us to care for God\u2019s Creation with greater love, hope and action?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-4222c2f\" data-block-id=\"4222c2f\"><div
