RELIGIOUS IMPLICATIONS prolongation of a materially-based human product. that mortality i s not just a curse or a burden, it is also a blessing.  But it is a blessing insofar as our resting is the very condition for any affirmation of being at all

ACTION PLAN 1. God’s mission involves the transformation and renewal of creation   2 . We seek growth and progress along every dimension of our humanity 3. We recognize science and technology as tangible expressions of our God-given impulse to explore and discover
