| Summary: | The climate catastrophe challenges theology to think about the relationship between our faith in God, the endangered creation, and justice. Although the challenge affects all living beings on the planet - and not only humans - the human responsibility for dealing with the issue cannot be separated from how we practice faith in God. God is the God of all, and the precarious and vulnerable situation of humans who suffer from the consequences of climate change represents a call to prophetic action and to affirm a shared community among all living beings. The resources of the Christian tradition can be employed to support this task. |
