Creation Care Movie Group: My Octopus Teacher | Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 7:00 PM

by Lesley McIntire,
Creation Care Ministry Team member

Creation Cares Ministry continues its movie discussions with the film “My Octopus Teacher” on January 26 at 7 p.m. on Zoom. The 2020 Oscar winning film explores the experiences Craig Foster had diving in the kelp forest off the coast of South Africa where he develops a unique relationship with an octopus.

Prior to the discussion, participants should watch the film on Netflix or check it out of a local library. (If you aren’t able to locate the film beforehand but want to join the discussion, there are numerous podcasts featuring Foster available on line, among them are segments on“Fresh Air” and “Living on Earth.” Foster also has a book about his experiences called Underwater Wild.) However you encounter this wonderful story, please register for the Zoom discussion and join friends from around the Diocese in exploring the impact of nature in our lives.

We believe in a loving, life-giving and liberating God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe God loves you -- no exceptions!

We invite you to be a part of our faith journey.

The Rt. Rev. Deon K. Johnson is the leader of our diocese. He was elected as our bishop on Nov. 23, 2019, and ordained on June 13, 2020, at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.

Approximately 10,000 people throughout Eastern and Central Missouri find their faith home with us. About three-quarters of our members are in the metro St. Louis area, but our diocese reaches much farther than St. Louis. You will find more than 40 Episcopal churches, missions and faith communities as far north as Kirksville, as far west as Columbia, and as far south as Poplar Bluff (and many points in between).

If you are looking for a church home or a just a faith community to visit, we invite you to explore The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri.
