At Gateway Resources we like this approach because it is congruent with our theology which is based in "realized eschatology"-that is, that essential structure of nature and being is already rooted and grounded in the present pervasive reality of the Resurrection and Ascension and Christ's filling all things: so, of course, underneath everything that we consider 'bad' would be something essentially good that we need only recover. We stand today already within the Second Coming of Christ and the Realm of God. Also the stance is irenic in the best Anglican tradition-including and making peace with ourselves and the whole creation-rather than condemning and fighting parts of our being. Alleluiah!
