This is the text of a talk given by Sydney Grail member, Tricia Gemmell in May 2016.
“..Eco-spirituality…is based in a belief in the sacredness of the entire created universe, in the Divine Mystery being not only the source of all creation but also the sustaining power within it, and in the belief of the interconnectedness of all life. It is about living a life that seeks to care for the earth, that engages with the environmental crises of our time and place, and that longs for and works for justice for all creatures. And it is marked by attitudes of reverence, wonder and gratitude. It is a spirituality that heeds the call to ecological conversion within the Christian vocation…”
Part of a larger international project collecting the histories of the Grail in different countries, here is a brief history of the Australian Grail between 1981 and 2016.
Grail women are working for justice in areas such as trade agreements, the environment, refugee resettlement, human trafficking, overcoming poverty and giving the marginalised a voice.
Initially a Catholic movement, the Grail today is an ecumenical movement of women grounded in the Christian faith, and open to dialogue with women of other religious traditions while deepening our own.
Both locally and globally, the Grail tries to move towards its vision by forming connections with like-minded and like-spirited groups and individuals.
Grail centres provide a space for open discussion on important political, social, cultural and spiritual concerns, around which actions can take place.
