@seenunseenmag @profntwright 8/ This changes the whole grammar. To say “we care for creation” can still leave us standing over against it, as managers of something external. But to say we _are_ creation means extinction is not scenery disappearing. It is the thinning of the choir to which we belong.
@HaddenTurner @affinitytalks 17/ This is inaugurated eschatology: the future Kingdom isn't waiting to replace the present world; it's already breaking in, claiming these fields, these bodies, this work as the location of its arrival. Christ doesn't save us from materiality—He redeems us as material beings.
