The Sacrament of Reconciliation is all very well, but have you considered confessing your sins to a garden? At the non-denominational Union Seminary in New York, students have been doing just that.
“Today in chapel,”the seminary’s Twitter account announced, “we confessed to plants. Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honour.”
The accompanying picture showed students in the chapel, sitting and contemplating a small patch of earth on which there were several leafy plants. “What,” the tweet asked, “do you confess to the plants in your life?”
