 Creation Care Compline – Formstack 

Creation Care Compline is a ministry collaboration of: 

• Episcopal Church Creation Care Ministry 

• The Episcopal Green Caucus 

After the ash settles and the news cameras have left: what happens to the caregivers, whose own lives have been upended?

The Los Angeles fires of January 2025 took hundreds of lives, 16,000 buildings, and two beloved Episcopal communities: St. Matthew’s in Pacific Palisades, whose sanctuary stood while everything around it burned, and St. Mark’s in Altadena, whose church and school were lost entirely to the flames.

Come and listen to an unflinching conversation with the leaders and spiritual caregivers of these communities – a conversation about spiritual care in a climate-changed world, where recovery is a posture, not a season.

See full event details and registration.

We are delighted to invite you to Claremont School of Theology’s 2026 Annual Convocation, held in person on Tuesday, October 6, at 7:30 pm Pacific in the sanctuary on our Westwood campus in Los Angeles. 

We are honored to welcome President Dr. Jihad Turk, founding President of Bayan Islamic Graduate School, as our convocation speaker. Dr. Turk’s address is titled: “Learning Across Difference: Interreligious Theological Education for a Fractured World” 

Join us for dinner before Convocation at 6:30pm PDT

October 13 conversation in Pasadena celebrates the newly revised and expanded edition of Starr’s acclaimed exploration of Judaism, Christianity and Islam  

PASADENA, Calif. — All Saints Church will host Jesuit priest and Homeboy Industries founder Fr. Greg Boyle and award-winning author and interspiritual teacher Mirabai Starr for an evening of conversation, readings and reflection on Tuesday, October 13, from 6:00–8:00 p.m.   

The event celebrates the newly revised and expanded edition of Starr’s God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, released September 8. Boyle, who contributed a new introduction to the edition, will join Starr in a conversation exploring the shared spiritual wisdom of the three Abrahamic traditions and the possibilities of compassion, justice and interfaith understanding in a divided world.  

The evening will include conversation between Boyle and Starr, readings from God of Love, an audience question-and-answer session and a book signing. The event will also be livestreamed on All Saints Church’s website, YouTube channel and Facebook page.  

Originally published in 2012, God of Love explores the teachings, stories, mystical traditions and prophetic calls for justice found across Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In the revised edition, Starr returns to the book with new reflections on the spiritual teachings that connect the three traditions and their relationship to compassionate action.  

Boyle is a Jesuit priest, author and founder of Los Angeles-based Homeboy Industries, which began in 1988 in response to gang violence in Los Angeles and has grown into a nationally recognized gang intervention, rehabilitation and reentry organization. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2024.  

Starr is an award-winning author, internationally acclaimed speaker and interspiritual teacher whose work focuses on contemplative practice, mystical traditions, grief and the wisdom shared across religious paths. She taught Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico–Taos for 20 years and is the author and translator of more than a dozen books, including Wild Mercy, Caravan of No Despair and Ordinary Mysticism.  

The October 13 gathering continues All Saints Church’s commitment to creating spaces for spiritual inquiry, interfaith encounter and conversations about the challenges facing our communities and world.
