For All Creation with Tearfund
Join The Call For All Creation by encouraging Australia’s leaders to provide the vital support and action that is needed to help our most vulnerable neighbours and reset towards a more just, compassionate and sustainable society.
In the bible, the people of God were commanded to consecrate each fiftieth year as a Jubilee year. It was a God-inspired vision of reset, embedded in the way of life for God’s redeemed and liberated people, to restore the social, economic and ecological balance to harmony.
In Luke 4, when Jesus announces and outlines the public purpose of his ministry, he calls upon this vision of Jubilee and proclaims that in him, the Christ, God’s promise of ultimate reset - freedom and restoration for all creation - is fulfilled.
As our leaders make decisions that will shape the world we live in for decades to come, we have a unique opportunity to step out - as people of faith - with a Jubilee vision of reset. There is profound hope in the opportunity this moment presents. The pandemic is showing us what we are capable of when the need is clear.
By raising our voices in prayer and action, we can shine God’s light and be a powerful voice, calling for change that expresses God’s justice and desire for all creation to flourish.
Together, we can show God’s love in action to help our most vulnerable neighbours and reset towards a more just, compassionate and sustainable society.
