Creation
Our capacity to give understanding, beauty and care a form.
Through Creation we make art, tools, shelter and teachings. What we create can sustain others long after us. We must consider its effects and protect the work through which other people speak and remember.
Living this Gift
We practise Creation whenever thought and care become something another life can encounter: food, art, shelter, writing, repair, teaching or a tool placed into someone else’s hands. Creation joins imagination to responsibility.
The standard it gives us
Creation is broken when people are prevented from making, when their work is destroyed or stolen, or when human ingenuity is used without regard for the lives and environments it touches.
When Creation is broken
Examine documented examples, the reasons for our judgment and what we must learn from them.
