This weekend we will honor Earth Day while exploring the New Testament image of Jesus as the good shepherd. What does it mean to be a good shepherd, to show responsibility and care towards a whole flock? And how might this reflect on the way humans relate to the Earth? Are we to have dominion, be good stewards, or simply be good citizens of Earth community? Can we be tended by nature even as we try to care for it? What relationship leads to the most abundant life? Eric will explore these questions without trying to offer easy answers.
