Sustainability is one of the key words of this still very young century. We will be thinking about it more and more in days to come.
We
are learning how to live so that there are adequate resources left for
the other seven billion people. We are learning how to reduce our carbon
footprint, so as to curb global warming and keep the planet healthy and
habitable for centuries to come. We are learning how to offer
excellent and reasonable healthcare to an aging populace in ways that do
not bankrupt our society. And we are learning how to live in faith
community in a far less cash-intensive manner, making possible a
lighter, more agile Christian movement, with a greater ability to invest
beyond our own internal buildings and management.
