The Synergy of Source of Life and Sustainability

To lead students to a deeper understanding of Ecological Conversion, we need to realise that this conversion is strongly grounded in a theology of creation. Within the Source of Life Religious Education Curriculum there is sequential development of understandings around God’s revelation through creation. Several content strands in Source of Life are strongly aligned with the context and content of Kinship with the Earth.

GOD

God is the creator of all life. Made in the image and likeness of God, we become co-creators and must work towards the sacredness of all creation.

SCRIPTURE

Scripture is a prime source of Revelation. Through the sacred writings of the Old and New, we are called to maintain right relationships with all creation.

SACRAMENTS

Creation reveals the beauty of God’s presence in people and our world. The awe and wonder of God’s creation is sacramental.

CHRISTIAN LIFE

Through the teachings and values of Jesus Christ, Christians come to understand the dignity of the human person and their responsibility to work for the common good of society.

"No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We have to learn to see the world anew."
