Paul’s Message: Time to Believe
"It's time to believe what we know."I heard Rob Davies say this during the opening of last fall's Bioneers Conference. During this presentation, spoken word was offered, accompanied by the Fry Street Quartet providing original music composed just for the occasion, under a big screen that displayed powerful images of both creation's beauty and creation's crisis. This presentation was intended to usher the audience into an experience that not only informs the mind, but moves the soul. It worked ... and we need more.
The scientific community has spoken, and continues to confirm what we have long known: the creation is wounded. We know that it will require common action to heal. We know that changes in lifestyle and outlook are needed to build a sustainable future. We know these things. But knowing isn't believing. Belief draws upon knowing, but is more than intellectual assent; it involves the soul. It involves tapping the deep waters of human identity and relationship to shape life that is in harmony with creation rather than at odds with it.
