3-8-26 - Living Water, Living Ecosystems
The readings for 3rd Sunday in Lent are Exodus 17:1-7, Psalm 95, Romans 5:1-11, and John 4:5-42. This week we explore the texts through the lens of ecology and the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. Drawing on the concept of indicator species and cryptic species, we unpack how Jesus sees the true value in someone her community had written off as insignificant. Just as ecologists use certain species to reveal the hidden health of an ecosystem, Jesus reveals the deeper worth of this overlooked woman — and through that, transforms an entire community. Let me know what you think of it.
Remember to answer this week's question:
Who is or what is an indicator species to you in your community? #FaithandSciPod
