Religions and faith traditions of all sorts face major upheavals in the face of ecological crises that are remaking our understanding of the human within the living reality of the planet. How they cope, how they emerge – whether in resistance to the transition underway or by opening to it in wholly new ways – being themselves transformed – will have a large influence on how we humans get through the crisis time.
New creation is not a “thing” we make. It is an act, on ongoing unfolding. We create – like an artist before a canvas, or a writer, pen and journal in hand. Creation in this sense is not a result, a finished project. It is an ongoing work. It is a journey, full of potential, of surprises, of new insights, new revelations. And this work of new creation has never been more necessary than it is right now.
What’s up are a lot of hopes and expectations for this project. Sharing our dreams and asking for your support.
