environmental policy that we have in any kind of text is in the hebrew scriptures, talking about the interdependence. the world shalom means to dwell together and that includes not just people. it means for the whole community. the world, the path plants, trees, animals, and palm sunday is an interesting moment to think about this, because it's a great sunday, palms are flying, everyone excited, look how glorious and excited it all is, and yet underneath all of that, gross injustice is taking place in the story, jesus coming into jerusalem, the poverty levels in jerusalem, have gone off the charts, the empire cracking down on people. oppression is flourishing, and these two moments exist simultaneously. a real challenge to think about earth justice, world justice, and what it means when there are rumbles junior underneath.
