@seenunseenmag @profntwright 7/ We are not outside creation looking in. We _are_ creation. Not all of creation, of course. Not its source. Not creation’s lord in any absolute sense. But we are matter called into relation, earth enlivened by breath, dust-bearing image summoned into praise and responsibility.

@HaddenTurner @affinitytalks 16/ Which is why faithful earthcare is redeemed creatureliness in practice. Not symbolically. Literally. Bodies need food. Soil needs tending. Animals need sheltering. The Kingdom doesn’t arrive despite these facts—it arrives through faithfulness to them.

Finally, seeing as all truth is God's truth, no issue should be seen as immediately irrelevant/not worth a thorough treatment by Christians - though these should obviously be some form of strict prioritisation as to what issues are worthy of our time/an extensive consideration.@nick_routledge

Quoted by@NWirzba @ChristianCent 3/ Beneath that, ultimately, lies a metaphysic of inhabitation: the universal arrives through the ontic grain of each place, rather than as abstract order from above. Incarnation itself becomes the form of universality, and refusal of a universal imposed from nowhere.
