You are probably comforted when you see it in a church nursery.
A boat with two giraffes, an elephant, and two lions with a kindly old man with a shepherd's staff, beard, and a rainbow just above it. You find it on the cover of children's bibles, as window-cling ons.
We know this is a destructive story with a mass extinction event, right? And what is its cause? The unending build-up of human violence, we are told.
Join us as we untangle these two versions in one editorial mess of a message, realizing that we often need rescue in our brokenness. With rafts of empathy, compassion, peace, and justice, we can also see the rising tide of human violence fall.
