Stumbling Towards Eden
<p>In my journey through American Christian culture and as a Christian myself, I’ve found talk of stewardship for God’s Creation largely absent. I have never heard a sermon about loving and stewarding God’s natural Creation. I’ve heard sermons about loving <em>humanity,</em> but they haven’t included animals, land, soil, air, microbes, or waterways. I’ve even encountered the attitude that dismisses environmental stewardship as incongruous with Biblical doctrine. I’ve heard some Christian communities proclaim that salvation is an escape from this earth — that God’s plan for the world is oblivion — and so, our responsibility to care for the earth doesn’t matter. Such a callous approach to caring for our home has always puzzled me. Don’t we all want to breathe unpolluted air? And swim in healthy rivers and lakes? And eat seafood from uncontaminated waters?</p>
