Tonight we talked about linking Old Testament themes to modern issues.
How we relate to the creation was one of them and this was linked (amongst other things) to the current world challenge of looking after the environment. It seems clear that the Old Testament can help our understanding. We talked about how the current apocalyptic views were echoed in Jeremiah. Interestingly if we in the UK are to make a difference to key issues like global warming then we better find ways of influencing the 2 key players - China and the US. Unless these two economies take their role seriously our practical efforts will be fairly futile.
