Seven Weeks for Water 2025, week 6: Water in the Cosmic Dance!

The sixth reflection of the Seven Weeks for Water 2025 series of the WCC Ecumenical Water Network is written by Prof. Mathew Koshy of Church of South India.  In this reflection, inspired by the Psalm104, he argues that the life giving resource, the water of life, plays a vital role in the “divine choreography” with other elements in God’s creation to sustain life.
