Ask the UMC: Our Living World, Part 4: Land

Created last and taken from the dust of the earth itself, the first call of human beings is to co-inhabit our living world with all other life-forms. Our second call, to subdue the earth and have dominion over the animals, is in service to the first. United Methodists are committed to maintaining the biblical priority.

Ask The UMC: Our Living World, Part 2: Plant Life

United Methodists understand that plant life is essential for all life in our living world. We must therefore ensure they are cared for in all their diversity, not only for our sake, but for the sake of our animal neighbors on this planet as well.
