A new website Let All Creation Praise has now been established in America under the leadership of David Rhoads. David Rhoads is promoting The Season of Creation widely this year; his email address is drhoads@alts.edu if you wish to make contact.
This website outlines and promotes The Season of Creation not only by exploring the various dimensions of this season, but also by providing additional resources and ideas for celebrating with Creation.
