What does Colossians 1:17 say about food systems? 📖

Colossians 1:17 reminds us that in Christ, all things are held together — including our broken food systems.

In Week 5 of the WCC Global Systemic Carbon Fast, Rev. Sarah Macias develops this theological claim into a challenging practical argument. Industrial agriculture profits from brokenness. Farmers face debt, displacement, and an alarming rate of su***de. Cancer and ecological devastation are treated as normal. They are not.

Macias argues the church — as the body of Christ — is uniquely equipped to repair these severed relationships. And that in the place where we live, "God doesn't create it any other way."

A rich reflection for theologians, educators, and practitioners engaged in creation care and food justice.
