@HaddenTurner @AdomasW What is Incarnation, after all? "Not to turn from the world to God but to turn to God in the world," Teilhard says. A uniquely Christian promise _and_ challenge, then. Only to the degree we embrace the simultaneity of human and earthly resurrection, do we embrace the Incarnation.

Approaches differ but some regenerative designers seamlessly integrate an idiom describing 'the resurrective ontology of new world creation', for example.Quoted by@ncolloff @jonmsweeney @litpress @MonkfishBookPub Indeed, no less than integral ontology of New World Creation, simultaneously individuated and fully incarnational.
