The Web of life

We live in extraordinarily challenging times - the kinds of times that have been the crucibles from which emerge new faiths. Why? Because, in the face of enormous struggles, faith gives us hope. It turns us away from passing pleasures to focus on profound truths. Faith traditions offer teachings and techniques that strengthen our resolve and build up our resilience. They remind us that life on this beautiful planet is a bountiful gift -- one that delights and astounds us, filling us with a profound sense of gratitude and generosity. They nudge us past our clinging to our egos and towards forgiveness, peace and reconciliation -- not just with others, but with ourselves.

Today, people of faith are reconsidering their traditions and finding in them fonts of creativity and inspiration for a value-led life, one in tune with the planet that has birthed and nourished us all. Here we provide examples of faith-based reflections on cherishing the web of life -- may they move you to your own contemplations. Afterwards, check the next link for inspiring projects that put these reflections into practice.
