God’s very created order lays the ground for resurrection. God creates. God invites us to subcreate with what He has made. And God meets us in the work. We see this in its fullness in the post-resurrection order, in Holy Communion—God makes wheat and grapes; we make bread and wine; and when we offer those gifts back to Him, God meets us in them and makes us a part of His very life. But the seeds were sown at the beginning—and to understand the world we live in, we must begin there.
Each month during our 2022 “Why We Create” series, we will explore one theme within the overall topic; with teaching in the form of essays, with stories that expand our imaginations to encounter this part of God’s truth, and with a dialogue of subsequent conversations and art. To browse the continuing series, visit its homepage here.
