520 |a Reconciliation is often understood as only having to do with our broken relationship with God. Yet we are alienated not only from God, but also from other people and the natural world. So we need help. Our brokenness extends to all things, thus we need to be put back into right relationships with all things. Such is the good news of Scripture: God in Christ reconciles all things. This is never more clear than in Colossians 1 and Revelation 21-22. In Paul's lovely song about reconciliation in the first chapter of Colossians, the phrase "all things" sings like a refrain and in John's mind-boggling vision of God's good future in the last chapters of the Apocalypse, reconciliation extends "far as the curse is found." We Christians need to put this theology into practice. We need to acknowledge our broken relationship with the earth, recognize that in Christ we are put into right relationships with all things, and strive, therefore, to be better earthkeepers-serving and protecting this our common home.
