@trippfuller @HomebrewedXnty @Joerg_Rieger Gutierrez: "History is one." The reality of prophetic earthwork, as such? A fully-enfleshed unicity of salvation, liberation and care of creation constituting the dynamic, integral ecology of deep incarnation, on the move. The Kingdom through, with and on the Earth, in practice.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: @WelshRev and @HaddenTurner Surprise, Illich avers, is the structure of messianic experience. Checking in with fundamentally Christian homesteaders/farmers/regenerative designers gifts us a wellspring of graced testaments to the manifest fullness, richness and plenitude of New World Creation in practice. Reality-based, practical metaphysics going deeper? Perfect poetry, isn't it? If we have a future, it'll be integral and regenerative - the Wedding of Heaven and Earth, and Earth and Heaven and, at its dynamic, loving heart, marriage and family togethered as an Edenic love affair.
@AimeTim 1/2 Dan Castillo is most valuable in clarifying how Francis’ concept of integral ecology “maps onto the levels of liberation delineated by Gutiérrez, while expanding the breadth of concern proper to integral liberation by also encompassing a preferential option for the earth.”

Copy of tweet here: We must go further. As such, the advent of the 'prophetic earthwork' movement as a bio-composite communion or convivium of land-based service work. To recalibrate or reintegrate Illich: “The kingdom is an eco-social reality at a transcendental level." I suspect geologian Thomas Berry would paint that as a classic case of 'anthropocentric autism' - a religious compass thoroughly divorced from grounding in Nature's harmony, proportions, integrity and, yes, concretized Christification. Faith profoundly unhinged. Xianity lite. Castillo: "Integral liberation cannot be separated from the process of integral communion." Ellen Davis: "The threefold communion with God, neighbor, and earth properly constitutes Christified space." We are called, in other words, to the salvation of "an ecological conversion."
