A Better World Requires Us
The future of Christianity is inseparable from the future of humanity. To fixate on preserving religious traditions while ignoring the planetary crisis is to abandon our most profound calling. The question is not what Christianity will become but what Christians will do to ensure the survival and flourishing of all life. The path forward requires more than belief or doctrine—it demands action rooted in love, justice, and a radical commitment to life itself.
The world we want, that we ache for, is a world where children get to grow up and live to old age, where people have food and houses and enjoyable work, where animals and plants and human beings live together on the earth in harmony, where none “shall hurt or destroy.”
We must recognize that our lives and the lives of all beings are interwoven. Every choice we make contributes either to the healing or the harm of the world. The dream of a just, harmonious existence is not a distant hope; it is a task placed before us.
We must ask with our whole being; a better world must become our deepest desire. And this means, of course, we must work at it; we must give our whole selves to it.
Faith without action is meaningless. Prayer without labor is empty. The earth is crying out, and the Spirit calls us to respond—not with hesitation, but with courage, urgency, and unwavering dedication. The time to act is now, for the sake of all who live and all who will come after us.
