Jesus’ own ministry, and that of Peter, Paul, and the other apostles as well as the ongoing early church has always relied upon the unstinting generosity and hospitality of its materially blessed supporters. There is nothing wrong with making money but we must do it in both ethical and Earth-friendly ways. Then it is what we do with it and how we share our material resources that will demonstrate our commitment to the “reign of God,” as revealed in Jesus of Nazareth.
Just as voluntary socialism and brutally enforced Communism have failed as alternatives, the endless pursuit of capitalism is being questioned by both our finite environmental/ecological limitations and an exponentially growing global population. How we live with those constraints demands some prophetic alternatives. The next chapter seeks to offer some initial pointers, thinking, and questions.
