@HaddenTurner @affinitytalks 9/ Faithful earthwork becomes a proving ground where soteriology meets the practical requirements of human and earthly solidarity. Is it performative messianism—the cult of self-importance—or does it submit to creaturely limits, receiving its agency as covenantal participation?

Concrete reality is the covenantal realm in which redemptive time comes to ground. Here, in the intensification of a vital coherence harmonizing the music of our deepest needs and aspirations to a larger symphony of earthly belonging, we and the world resurrect as one. #easter

There’s a great secret, at least for most of humanity, and as close as us, so we do not see it. Namely, our hope for redemption, for personal and corporate resurrection? Plain, human-centered miscalculation, if it doesn’t include our partnered indivisibility with Creation.

@Plough @BenQuash 18/ The option for the poor and the option for the earth can’t be split: people and land are one covenantal ecology. One can’t be healed without the other. Integrated repair is how the Beautiful reweaves the world—local restoration seeding universal renewal.

Quoted by@seenunseenmag @profntwright 20/ New creation husbandry means not bringing God’s future to a passive world, but inhabiting an earthly metabolic integrity where renewal becomes bodily, historical, sacramental—grown, eaten, composted, repaired, restrained, shared; incarnational only insofar as it is lived.
