Descrição: Against the background of global issues such as climate change and the COVID‐19 pandemic and their effects on marginalized and oppressed communities, this article undertakes an ecological reading of 2 Corinthians 5:16‐21 in which justice, transformation, and participation play a key role for Paul. Such an ecological reading is also relevant in initiatives for education and ecumenical formation. Ecology and ecumenism are closely connected. With the realization that all human beings, creation, the earth, and earth communities are part of the renewed creation made out of reconciliation, the need to come together as churches, denominations, and faith communities becomes obvious. Ecumenical formation is a process of education and learning, and, at the same time, education is also the result of being ecumenical. It becomes directly relevant and connected to ecological justice. Education for self and for communities is an essential part of the churches’ ministry and responsibility to care for creation.
