SUMMARY:Book Study - ‘The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World’
DESCRIPTION:The book we will use for our October Season of Creation Book Study is “The Serviceberry” by Robin Wall Kimmerer (author of “Braiding Sweetgrass). In this book\, Kimmerer “considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. Gift economy being a system in which goods and services are given freely between people rather than sold or bartered. Our current economy is rooted in scarcity\, competition\, and the hoarding of resources – which actively harms what we love. Kimmerer shows us a model based upon reciprocity rather than accumulation\, where wealth and security come from the quality of our relationships\, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency. Because the Serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of interconnectedness and gratitude and an example of a gift economy\, it is more restorative and creates abundance as the gift moves through the system.” \nAfter worship on Sunday\, October 19th\, we will have a discussion of the book and consider what came up for us from the book\, what insights we gathered from the book\, and what learnings we may take out into the world. In Person in the Parlor.
