The Rt. Rev. Marc Andrus, Bishop of California, offers the text of his invocation at the People’s Climate March on September 21:
“Who prompts the Arctic Tern in the air, and the Blue Whale in the Ocean, to make their 12,000-mile migration?”
“The Earth!”
“Who starts the 500-mile Serengeti Migration, beginning with 250,000 Zebras, then 1.7 million Wildebeasts, and 400,000 Gazelles?”
“The Earth!”
… “Then you are the prayer of the Earth, you are her invocation to God! The Earth and the Cosmos have reached out and called you to make your life a prayer for healing, peace, justice and integrity!”
