Spiritual Retreat: Reflecting on Our Common Home
Presented by Sister Dianne Bergant, CSA
Session 5
Originally presented live on August 25, 2021 in the CSA Motherhouse in Fond du Lac, WI.
During this session, Sister Dianne leads us in a deep dive of the second creation metaphor presented in the Bible, found in Genesis 2. Reviewing the biases present in our translation from the original Hebrew text, she illustrates how the beauty and symmetry of Hebrew poetry is vital to understanding of the oneness of all of God's creations.
