In Genesis we learn that God has given us dominion over the earth. Our history tells us that we have interpreted dominion as synonymous with domination; humankind's domination of creation has resulted in degradation of the environment to the  point where creation cries out "I can't breathe."  We even dominate each other; domination permeates our culture. Pastor Tim suggests a better interpretation of the Genesis story is that, being created in God's image, we are called to be partners with God and to be caretakers of God's creation. The sermon text is Genesis 1:24-31; the reading of the scripture is included in the podcast. The Rev. Tim Schaefer, pastor, preaching.
