Hope for the world

Our hope is not in this life only, as the Apostle Paul said. Yet our hope IS for this life. How can we live without hope - today, tomorrow, and the next day?What hope do we have that this earth we inhabit will continue to be habitable in coming generations? The climate crisis is not a political issue, but a spiritual and moral one. It is not a conservative or liberal issue. And it is not debatable.The gospel gives hope for abundant life - here and now. Life is a gift, and we are called to live it wisely and responsibly. Caring for God's creation is one responsibility. I have come to this late in life, unfortunately, but my wife and I have many grandchildren, and we want them to be able to live in a world - together with all people - which is still good and beautiful.This post is my first public commitment to this calling.
