As the US and world confront the interlocking pandemics of racism, white supremacy, and police brutality; extreme economic inequality; and ecological destruction - all within the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic - how do we respond from a Christian perspective to organize and build momentum toward a new world, rather than remaining within our current ways of operating?
The World Student Christian Federation, in collaboration with campus ministers, chaplains, and students from across the U.S., invited undergraduate and graduate students into a series of virtual conversations to explore this question together while building an ecumenical network of progressive Christian students who are committed to living out their faith in this moment.
Using the biblical framework of “A New Heaven and New Earth” from Revelation 21:1-6, progressive Christian students imagined a new world together - one that is centered on the biblical values of justice, equity, and love - and explored the ways in which they can work to help build it.
Listen to Dr. Catherine Keller, Professor of Constructive Theology at Drew University, share her theological reflections on the New Heaven and New Earth:
