Despite government efforts—such as climate education, mangrove planting, vocational training for seafaring, and new economic ventures like palm sugar production—many residents fear displacement and the eventual loss of their homeland.

 The concept of deep resurrection, developed by theologian Elizabeth Johnson, expands traditional Christian understanding of Christ’s resurrection to embrace not just humanity but all of creation. Building on the idea of deep incarnation, which holds that God entered the very tissue of biological existence, Johnson proposes that Christ’s life, death, and resurrection are intrinsically connected to the natural world. Through Christ, the hope of salvation extends to the entire earth community, not just human beings. Supported by Scripture, liturgy, and modern eco-theology (including the teachings of Pope Francis in Laudato Si'), this vision calls believers to recognize that all creatures are moving toward God’s fullness together. Celebrating Easter, then, becomes not only a commemoration of human redemption but also a promise of transformation for the whole cosmic family of life, reaffirming our shared destiny in the love of the risen Christ. | | | 02 August 2023
