For the Christian community, water is symbolic of our relationship with God,
carrying the image of renewal, promise, and hope.
It is through water that we are baptized into the community of the church.
Furthermore, water is essential to all life on Earth, and it links human life to the rest
of God’s Creation.
Creation begins with the God calling life out of the water (Genesis 1:2).
The human
body, in fact, is made of mostly water.
W can go for weeks without food, but only a few days without
water.
It is through water that all of Creation is gifted with life, and life, in all of its forms, is not possible
without water.
The protection of water for use by the rest of Creation, especially future generations and those living in
poverty, is the responsibility of all of God’s people.
As a gift from God, our response is to share the gift of
water with all.
In this involved caring for neighbor and for all of life we ensure that, as a matter of justice,
nobody is denied water.
