Water is a key element of biological, meteorological, ecological, economic and political reality. It also has a deeply spiritual meaning in the world's religious traditions, including Christianity. Water plays a vital role in the beliefs, stories and practices of all religious traditions.
One of the gifts of inter-religious dialogue today is awareness of one another's beliefs, wisdom, and spiritualities. In this week's reflection by Prof. Dr Seong-Won Park, the Korean theologian introduces us to a foundational Asian spiritual tradition's teaching on water.
One can say that this week's reflection actually is not "on water". It rather uses water and its spiritual attributes as a starting point to reflect on the values and the principles that should be embodied in our relationship with the earth and within the human community.
