Theme - The Coupling of Gender Equality & Clean Energy

SUMMARY
Sexism must be exorcised from all human relations in all kinds of
institutions - including religion! For Christians, the original unity of
man and women has been not only restored but enhanced (Matthew 27:51;
John 20:11-14). The veil in the temple has been split open. The stone
has been rolled away, exposing a tomb emptied of all barriers made by
human hands. Sexism makes no sense after the resurrection; and the signs
of the times cannot be more eloquent.
*What is the coupling between gender equality and clean energy?*
Clean energy technologies are readily available, but we need all women
to be educated and able to make decisions if we are to mitigate
population growth and the consumption rates that are depleting natural
resources and polluting the environment. In both church and society, men
alone cannot do it; thus women are needed in roles of secular and
religious authority. This is now widely recognized except in some
patriarchal institutions with a vested interest in keeping all human
(and divine!) affairs in the hands of men alone.
Sincerely,
Luis
