Responsibility for the Created World

In the history of humanity, situations had arisen when the dependence of human beings on nature went through great changes, and nature became dependent on human beings. This induces a completely new situation of responsibility of human beings for life on the Earth. The Christian ethics coming out of Christology and eschatology points to the fact that from its beginning the created world is intended to be the house of the common dwelling and life of divine and human persons. In this, the most profound grounds of responsibility for this world are found.
