Pray for the Land June 28th
The frontline in the struggle to protect the earth is here, right now. You can touch it. You can hear it. You can feel it. Around the world ordinary people are expressing their deep desire to live right by our planet. Some folks are willing to risk everything in order to stand up for creation and their place in it. On June 28th we want you to turn your thoughts, meditations and prayers toward the land. Please join the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation at the Robertsville mine site to Pray for the Land.
Please bring a positive attitude, water (but not bottled), food to share with others, appropriate clothing, (a raincoat and umbrella), your music, something to sit on, courage and conviction. There could be ten participants or a hundred (or more). Pray for the Land will take place on the road allowance at Robertsville. Although the site may not have amenities keep in mind that many of the great gatherings have taken place alongside a road between somewhere and elsewhere. Come prepared to adjust, sustain, and be generous.
The day will begin with a sunrise ceremony. It is expected that people will come for all day or for a few minutes. There will be opportunities for people of all faith groups to gather and share with others. The gathering at Robertsville will finish around 5pm.
Please, no drugs, alcohol or money collections.

On June 28th, the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation is inviting people of all faiths to join them again in praying for their homeland which has been seriously harmed by uranium exploration.
Human beings have an innate understanding of their relationship with the earth and when the time comes we all welcome it among the most meaningful obligations of our lives. People of every faith recognise their sacred responsibility to care for the earth.
If you have ever felt the need to speak up for creation and seek justice for people who live close to the land please come to Robertsville to join us. If you can’t come out to the land please encourage your faith community to remember the Ardoch struggle when you gather together.
