A Parish Prayer
God of love and hope,
our guiding light and source of love:
Lead us by your Spirit into a
new and hope-filled future,
where we can joyfully proclaim
Christ’s love and peace
to the community where we live.
Help us to be open to change
as we embrace your vision
for a people reconciled to you
and each other.
This we ask in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.

CREATION WATCH
Endangered
A review by ecologists of the worlds plant and animal life has
predicted that thousands of plant, animal, bird and marine
species face extinction. Australian ornithologists are alarmed
that bird numbers in Australia are dropping. They blame habitat
destruction, wildfires and climate change for the dropping
numbers. As an example the Carnaby’s Cockatoo, or black cockatoo
is seriously endangered. This cockatoo ranges in the South West
from the coast to the hills. This bird feed on native plant
seeds, mainly eucalypt, and banksias species. It also nests in
hollows in eucalypts. The destruction of bushland for housing
and agriculture has removed much of the birds food source and
nesting trees. The black cockatoo so eat pine cones seeds, but
even the pine plantations are slowly being removed. The future
for the wild populations is grim unless conservation action is
taken.
