Bible message - Protecting the Commons
from Regent Hall SA Hosted by Regent Hall
We continue our ‘Season of Creation’ series by looking at what’s called ‘The Protection of the Commons’. No – not a political centre or amphitheatre, but rather those created elements that we, as the crown of God’s creation, have dominion over; for example the land, the seas and all living beings. The key emphasis when considering ‘The Commons’ is how we communally participate in and protect those common elements that unite all human beings. When we consider this we realise that we have more that unites us with one another and creation, than perhaps we’ve understood before. So in this week’s teaching we will be considering the following: - the Commons of Biblical community; - the Commons of Creation and then - the Commons of Church Life. How do these elements speak into our lives and how do we care for so many created things that we often take for granted? In recent worship meetings together we have remembered the command to Love the Lord your God and to Love your neighbour as yourself. In this teaching we will see how the concept of ‘One Anothering’ ties in with this and with the overarching exhortation to protect the Commons. What actually is ‘One Anothering’? It’s an ‘Oh so simple’ theological idea. It is relevant to us all without exception because we all have a responsibility to protect and treat one another and all creation with the deepest respect and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
