Religion: as Mission, not doctrine:
if the Bible were written today would it be about mission or doctrine?
Authentic religion is about action-mission, less about words. Self-arrogation and claimed institutional righteousness are more about 'religion of word', less about 'religion of work'. The global urgency of The Times is mission, service, what commonly authenticates Eucharistic Nature, not about self-righteous exploitation-claims.
World conflicts, violent displacement of people, and mindless wasting today witness to the truth that religion in The Times is more about self-righteous justification, exploitation, than about conservation and mutual regard for other.
Rightful ecological mission authentically speaks words of true religion. Time to wage ecological wellbeing among religions, not conflicts. Be mission now! Facilitate mission in your community. Life on Earth depends on people-consciousness of true mission.  http://www.secondenlightenment.org/Beyond%20Conflicted%20Religion.pdf
