Last updated on: August 21, 2023 at 9:55 am By Ted Peters

Justification by faith, as emphasized by St. Paul and again in the Protestant Reformation, signifies that our forgiveness and salvation are gifts of God's grace. But, what does "faith" here mean? Belief? No. Trust? No. Indwellling of Christ? Yes. Read more

Last updated on: August 31, 2023 at 8:21 am By Ted Peters

There is no silver bullet that when shot will immediately fix what's broken in global food production and distribution. Yet, I hope that inexpensive no-kill cultivated meat might meet essential protein needs that would contribute to mitigation of food insecurity. Read more

2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions: Planetary Hugs

Last updated on: August 21, 2023 at 10:26 am By Ted Peters

I'm heartend by the overflow of heartfelt commitment to the future generations who will live in the biosphere the present generations are destroying. And I'm heartened that persons in such a wide variety of religious traditions are of one mind regarding the urgency for global repentance, metanoia, and transformation. I'm joining in the planetary hugs. Yet, what we need are practical strategies deriving from scientific visions of just what needs to be done in order to heal what is broken in the human relationship with the biosphere. Read more

2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions: Ultimate Unity

Last updated on: August 21, 2023 at 10:27 am By Ted Peters

On the one hand, I rejoice that representatives of various religions affirm freedom and human rights, values that arose during Europe's Enlightenment. And, they provide different theological underpinnings for such commitments. Yet, I fear that the indigenous symbols of ultimate reality whih enlivened historical religious traditions might get lost in the abstract supra-confessional philosophy of religion. Despite my fear, those in the 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions seem quite sanguine with their commitment to both metphyscial unity and ethical unity. Read more
