| Summary: | This article reflects on the theme of the 2022 assembly of the World Council of Churches, “Christ’s love moves the world to reconciliation and unity.” It names some of the main forces that pull us away from Christ’s love, that promote enmity rather than reconciliation and division rather than unity, starting with colonization and capitalism. It then moves on to emergence and regeneration, where God’s healing is needed to regenerate the tissues of our society, our hearts, our faith, our ways of living, and our collective life. We must turn to the earth in ways we never have before. We must heed God’s call; we need to listen, to follow. We need a conversion that regenerates us. |
