collective care in uncaring times

Collective Care Looks Ahead

As the Collective Care in Uncaring Times series comes to a close, this teaching invites us to consider what collective care looks like when we look beyond the immediate moment. Reflecting on Corinthians and Revelation, we explore the idea that we are invited to collaborate with the Divine in building communities and a world that can outlast us. Even when disappointment, loss, and uncertainty make it difficult to imagine a hopeful future, we can continue the work of nurturing, repairing, and renewing what has been entrusted to us. Looking ahead, then, becomes an act of hope, humility, and collective care.
