The Church and the mission of God are not two separate entities, but instead, the missio Creatoris Dei establishes the missiones ecclesiae, indicating that the church exists solely to participate in the Creator's mission. This mission is based on Christology, where Jesus is regarded as the ‘Ecological Ancestor’. Each creature within the web of life signifies God’s presence, embraced, and invited into God’s redemptive future. Through Jesus Christ, the Trinity uniquely entered in developing creation as the Incarnate One; the Word became Flesh, existing as a biological being, sharing the same existence with other creatures on this planet. Every living creature and ecosystem represents God, a reflection of divine goodness and beauty, a spark of divine life, and a revelation of God's goodness.

The congruity of liturgy and ecology is essential for a deeper understanding. Liturgy is an act of attributing worthiness, firstly to God, but also to historical events such as the deeds of the pioneers of our faith, together with the land, animals and birds, bread and wine, and the entire creation that God deemed “very good”. Worship extends to all aspects of creation, seen and unseen, celebrating the magnificence of God.

The Churcha session will discuss some questions for the Asian churches: Is creation celebrated in our worship services? Do our liturgical traditions include resources that renew our appreciation of creation's beauty and wonder while also calling out the ways humans harm it? How does our liturgy help us spiritually and morally to live in ways that honour the earth? Have we lost the art of awe?
