On Creation

Giuli, Sofia and Adrianna have a conversation about creation. What does it mean that everything is a sign of the Mystery of Being? What personal experiences have taught us to look at creation this way? Amid the fallenness of creation, what ethical demands follow from this ontological reality? // This conversation was inspired by the 2022 Fall Conference of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame. Sofia’s episode with the Ethics & Culture Cast can be found here: www.tinyurl.com/2e5r2stt // Our media recommendation is Morten Lauridsen’s Lux aeterna, which you can find on Spotify (www.tinyurl.com/5a7m6f56) or YouTube (www.tinyurl.com/3mnxwuj9). And our monthly challenge is to choose one form of practicing good stewardship or “dominion” in your environment. // We’d love to hear from you!
