Divorced Conference
Ecology
The fate of the earth is
literally up for grabs, ac
cording to Sister Miriam
Therese MacGillis, OP,
founder of Genesis Farm, a
Dominican ministry con
cerned about earth
stewardship.
Sister Miriam Therese
will present a lecture, “The
New Cosmology,” Feb. 27
at the Central Congrega
tional Church, 2676 Clair-
mont Road, in Atlanta,
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
After devoting the last 17
years to researching the
impact of human tech
nology on the planet she
concludes that human
kind’s survival “is a ques
tion of our own critical
choices.” The new cos
mology directs attention to
and repudiates man’s
manipulation of the earth
as an object and stresses
the interconnectedness and
interdependence of all
creation. It maintains that
the earth is not a material
object but a living being,
self-regulating and coded
for life.
Sister Miriam Therese
summarizes the implica
tions of this new under
standing. “We need to treat
the earth with respect and
awe, realizing that if our
air, water and soil become
sick and die, we, too, will
fall sick and die. If the
oceans become toxic, the
clouds will be toxic and our
children will be toxic and
their tears will be toxic.
That is literally the death
of our world.”
Sister Miriam Therese is
an associate and member
of the board of trustees of
Global Education As
sociates and works exten
sively with religious con
gregations on issues of
ecology, justice, peace and
world order.
The lecture is being spon
sored by Beyond War and
is open to the public. Ad
mission is $4. For more in
formation, call 377-7654.

Neither had my daughter A retire

flowers, ficus trees and ferns, it’s
unlike any other retirement

importantly, it’s home for so many
active people”

“It seems as though I’ve known
many of my neighbors for years.
They are all so friendly and there
are so many things we like to
do together”

PARTIES TO BRIDGE AND
BRUNCH.
“My days are full of things to do. We
take trips, dance, play bridge, and of
course, go shopping when the mood
suits me The Atrium wellness center;
C & S Bank and beautiful dining
room give me the time to do what I
want, not only what I need.”
IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
“Imagine what it’s like to open your
door to beautiful weather every
morning and walk through the park
to have breakfast with friends. I
honestly never believed I could be
so happy.”
