In this sermon, Charles Anderson explains the structure and purpose of Genesis 1 to help us understand how God is purposefully at work in creation and in our lives, even the midst of seeming chaos.

In this special encore of a recent webcast, we'll be in conversation with Brian McLaren about his book called Do I Stay Christian: A guide for the doubters, the disappointed, and the disillusioned. I'll be cohosting with Victoria Loorz of the Wild Church Network, and Kate Davis from the Center for Transforming Engagement at The Seattle School. Together we'll pay particular attention to the Brian's ideas about something Brian calls “re-wilding.” As he describes it in his book, re-wilding is all about re-aligning and re-orienting our hearts, minds, and bodies with the natural world. Re-wilding is about re-connecting to the earth as our teacher, and seeking the wisdom that is found in wilderness. Comments or questions?  Send us an email: earthkeepers@circlewood.online Guests:Brian McLarenHis new book Do I Stay Christian?

1. Were Adam and Eve the first Human Beings 2. Were Adam and Eve real people or just a typological example 3. What about Science 4. How should we best interpret the story of Adam and Eve? MY BASIC PREMISE: 1. I believe God created Adam and Eve by His direct hand and in His image and that they were actual people but also serve as a typology, they were the first priests in the line of the Messiah but likely not the first people on earth. 2. God inaugurated creation in 7 days as a cosmic temple 3. The focus of Genesis 1-3 is God's relationship with humankind and not necessary the details of building the creation. The Bible therefore becomes the love story of God reclaiming the treasured possession of humanity that was lost. (house vs home story) 4. Genesis 1-3 (specifically) should be read in light of its intended audience (Ancient Near East Mesopotamian) Israelite culture. We mostly struggle with the concept of Adam and Eve and ancient things because we think in terms of western cosmology and Platonic logic. We don't think like the ANE authors of Genesis did. We want to read the Bible like a history or science book and that simply isn't what the Bible is or how it was intended to be read. The Bible describes the earth as sitting above deep waters with spheres connecting the heavens. Does this make the stories mythology? In most cases God meets people and even allows them to be part of the story. Sometimes that means borrowed words, and ideas become part of the story and we find that God in his mercy goes along with a lot of man's ways. The nature of God and his mission to reclaim what was lost reads a whole lot more like a love story that isn't overly concerned with painting any other pictures. To get the whole story we have to find our place in the culture. Our goal should be to understand the story as it was given to the intended audience and figure out how we are impacted and fit in. What does God desire of you based on the story we are given? As you explore the possibilities, I pray that you will find you are also falling in love with the Word and the Word is Jesus. This is the pre-emanate calling of the New Testament, to grow deeper in intimacy with Jesus and lead others to also embark on that beautiful journey. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you. -Dr. Will Ryan

Class is back in session. All too often we get caught up in discussing the six days of creation, evolution, and related issues when talking about the beginning of all things. This causes us to lose sight of some really important doctrines. Today's session will cover those very doctrines.   Find us on: Email: doxologypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @doxologypodcast Instagram: @doxologypodcast

Just Life - Ellen Teague - 2021-11-18 Ellen Teague is a London-based freelance Catholic journalist who writes and campaigns on Justice, Peace and Ecology issues. She has worked for the Columbans since 1990, running the media desk of the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) team of the Columban Missionary Society in Britain and editing their newsletter, Vocation for Justice. She speaks in dioceses, parishes and chaplaincies regularly on JPIC issues, particularly on the social justice teachings of Laudato Si', the 2015 papal encyclical on ‘Our Common Home'. Ellen is also an assessor for the Livesimply Parish Award in England and Wales, and supports individuals, families, parishes and educational establishments to commit to the transition to renewable energy, advocacy for justice and peacemaking. She helps to organise the annual Columban media competition for young people, which has focused on Migrants, Refugees and ‘Throwaway Society'. Ellen represented the Columbans at the 2015 United Nations Climate Talks in Paris, producing a daily blog which added to the clamour for an Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. She has been a Columban presence at numerous lobbies and marches over several decades on such issues as the Climate Crisis, Global Debt, Fair Trade, Extractive Industries, and Peace & Nonviolence. Influential events included lobbying the G8 on Debt in 1998 (Birmingham) and 1999 (Cologne) as part of the Jubilee 2000 campaign to cancel international debt, ‘Make Poverty History' in Edinburgh in 2005 and ‘The Wave' on Climate in London in 2009. She attended the Columban conference in the Philippines in 2007 on Climate Change which established a Columban commitment internationally to work on the issue. More recently, she helped produce a series of Columban podcasts on Biodiversity for the 2020 Season of Creation, working with Columban JPIC internationally. Ellen also writes regularly for The Tablet, Independent Catholic News, Messenger of St. Anthony International Edition and Redemptorist Publications, collaborating closely with organisations involved in the National Justice and Peace Network of England and Wales (NJPN), such as Pax Christi. She is a member of the NJPN Environment Group and is on the planning group for their July 2021 Conference: ‘Action for Life on Earth', which is inspired by Laudato Si'. Interest in environmental justice was sparked while working as a volunteer teacher in Northern Nigeria in the 1980s and then for CAFOD as their campaign coordinator on the ‘Renewing the Earth' campaign 1989-1990, which did ground-breaking work on the links between development and the environment. Columban eco-theologian Sean McDonagh was a consultant to that campaign and she has been inspired by his work on Creation Theology ever since. She has produced several study programmes for Christian groups, including, ‘Paint the Church Green', ‘Our Earth, Our Home' – Green assemblies for primary schools, and the Columban study programme on Laudato Si'.

How should those of us committed to a biblical sexual ethic treat those who are same-sex attracted or who identify as the opposite sex?  In our polarized world, it seems like only two options are available to us: (1) we accept, approve, and celebrate LGBT+ lifestyles or (2) we deny, denigrate, and dismiss them.  Either Read more about 407 Reaching LGBT+ People (Sean Finnegan)[…]

Presented by Rev. Carolyn Swift Jones-Scientists affirm that every ingredient in our body and on our planet is made from elements forged by stars. Stars are amazing engines of power that can cause atoms to collide and create new elements across the universe. This is the stuff that we are made of! Come and join us as we disassemble the old creation theologies so as to make room for a new story – a story in which each and every one of us is a star, creating life, over and over again. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star. – Revelation 22:16Support the show (https://www.unityinthefoothillsct.org/donations)

Joel Chopp and Geoff Fulkerson are the editors of a new book called Science and the Doctrine of Creation: The Approaches of Ten Modern Theologians (InterVarsity Press, 2021).

Racial Identity and Reconciliation in the New Creation (Theology of the Body, pt. 7)

Hugh Ross, a world-renowned Christian astrophysicist, joins this episode of Conversations with Jeff to discuss his views on Creation, which include the earth being billions of years old and the days of Creation being periods of time, not individual days. The show wraps up with a discussion on how to point people to the Gospel using science and the study of the origins of the earth.

Part one I charted the wider landscape that Creation theology gives us – a wider landscape I argued, than what I called the ‘Redemption’ gospel.  I want to stress that the key theme was not either or choice between the two – we obviously need ‘redeeming’ or ‘saving’ and any thinking person who denies that is deceiving themselves as if humanity has no problem or blood on our collective hands…. No, my point was where does the gospel begin where does the story of the gospel begin.  And we argued that the creation gospel begins with a deep anchor in Genesis one, whereas the redemption gospel begins – de facto – in Genesis three. I made the point that this creation gospel is not a soft gospel.  It challenges the secular mind substantially – more substantially than the redemption gospel because its claims are wider and more stupendous. The claim of the creation gospel is that Jesus is Lord of all and there is therefore no one, no event, no system, that can claim immunity from his rule. He is not just Lord of the church, he is Lord of the cosmos. Whereas the redemption gospel feels more specialised – because it is religious.

When it comes to Genesis 1, Christians tend to divide into two major camps: old earth and young earth creationists. The former sees the days as long periods of time (e.g. Hugh Ross) while the latter insists on literal twenty-four hour periods (e.g. Ken Ham).

Creation Theology and Christian Marriage: Why the Church’s Teachings on Sex and Matrimony Can’t Be Changed The Biblical self-revelation of God as “Yahweh Elohim”— the God who creates the world from nothing—provides the key to understanding the Church’s constant teaching and tradition about marriage and sexual morality. It’s not just about saying no to things people want to do, but about faith in God: about who we say God is, what the world means, and what it means to be made in His image and likeness.
