A new conceiving of “Mission” for our crisis situation

I tweeted these three tweets out to my 3 Twitter accounts yesterday,  and again just a few minutes ago.

Our churches should be generating ministries of “Eco-Mission”
Let us not allow this to become a point of great O-mission
Rather, it should be considered an integral part of “The Great Commission” as we seek to be a church in the Anthopocene

This is an enormous issue for theology today,  in a time where churches aligning with the values of Empire and Oligarchy have adopted an ideology of strident opposition to economic and ecological change.   Ecological change requires a radical re configuring of our economic and social awareness.  And theological legacies have been built which fail to take in to account the ecological limitations,  which was inconceivable to a pre-scientific mind which perceived the earth as infinitely unlimited.  The cosmology was severely restricted to literally what we could then perceive with the senses.  That is no longer the case.
