Mankind destroys, mankind redeems. The propensity to have things fall apart is ancient, dreadfully woven into the nature of humanity. Notwithstanding the theological difficulties the idea entails, the Scriptures suggest sinless-chaos as the LORD's first foe. Each work of God, the incarnation, the resurrection, the church, etc. appears as a movement from chaos to order.
Whose order? From my street-side view, our work (although laced throughout with its own chaos) is somehow a part of that divine movement. But let's not too quickly judge ourselves as if God were on our side. All the work of God by human hand, barring Jesus himself, is laced with its own chaos. Even the Cistercians displaced many a settled home as they sought 'refuge' from the disturbances of society and looked to remake inhabitable corners of the world habitable to their vision of life. But the eyes of faith see the glimmer of divine graceful order weaving its way in and through the work of even bloodstained human hands.
