Sunday is not God's Sabbath
"Jennifer Marlon, a research scientist and lecturer at the Yale School of the Environment, remarked to the news outlet CNN: "It's very strange to hear about severe wildfires in Hawaii-a wet, tropical island-but strange events are becoming more common with climate change". She continued, "But this is what climate change is doing-it's super-charging extreme weather. This is yet another example of what human-caused climate change increasingly looks like".
The climate crisis, including Maui's catastrophe, elicits calls for Sunday sacredness. These calls are intensifying at an alarming rate. Increasingly, Sunday sacredness is being promoted as the panacea for the ever-developing climate crisis. Making Sunday special, its proponents claim, would not only heal the planet but would also help in alleviating the exploitation of the poor and oppressed.
Private enterprises, NGOs, and governments of all levels-from the United Nations to local municipalities around the world seem to be coalescing in a perfectly choreographed symphony orchestra. That orchestra is belting out a meticulously synchronized arrangement called 'Sunday sacredness, the cure for the climate crisis'. Here are a few stanzas of that composition.

While walking down the hallway at the America's Center Convention Complex-the site of the 62nd General Conference Session-I saw Ganoune Diop approaching.

Rome Stops Traffic On Ecological Sunday
Rome's "Ecological Sundays," which restrict traffic to reduce pollution, may at a first glance appear to be an environmental initiative on the surface, but they serve a deeper agenda-to condition the public to the idea of staying home and resting on Sundays. While rest is not inherently problematic, the issue lies in how this concept is being enforced-not through a voluntary means, but through civil law. By mandating Sunday rest…
