Is Christianity in Crisis or Transition? 

We are facing an unprecedented convergence of crises: global warming, climate change, mass migration, and systemic ecological collapse. Our planetary systems are exhausted and no longer able to sustain human life as we know it. While countless non-profit organizations work tirelessly on sustainability and integral ecology, and Christian communities engage in vital works of social justice—addressing poverty, immigration, war, racism, and human rights—the harsh reality is that these efforts, however noble, are not reversing the trajectory of destruction.

To survive, he must wrestle with Matter and see what it reveals.
