The 6th reflection of the Seven Weeks for Water 2021 of the WCC’s Ecumenical Water Network is written by Archbishop Mark MacDonald.* In the following reflection, he recognises that Jesus and his ministry are closely associated with water.

He felt, at that time, that Jesus was also present beside them at the Standing Rock to protect its waters.
