Why would our relationship with Creation be any different than any other relationship?
http://www.anglicancommunion.org/acns/news.cfm/2012/10/9/ACNS5201
In a new series of
reflections, Bishop Browning explores the roots and meaning of Sabbath and how
a fresh understanding and practice of this biblical concept can reconnect
economics to ethics, and shape human society in a manner that is consistent
with the creation upon which it depends.
‘As Christians we have
inherited a story that speaks Good News to all creation. I believe the Sabbath
narrative, where we understand God not “ceasing the work” of creation, but
rather “being present to” creation, has the capacity to change behaviour and
life style. It is strong enough to replace our prevailing narrative
predominated by economic success with one of human and environmental
well-being.’
‘As humans, we know that
our primary relationships are dependent upon trust – and trust is rooted in
expectations of fidelity, while fidelity means the acceptance of limits’, he
says. ‘Why would our relationship with creation be any different?’
