Abstract
This contribution builds upon and contributes to many recent ecumenical calls
for an ecological reformation of Christianity. It seeks to guide such calls on the
use of the term �ecology� by offering five brief statements in this regard, namely
1) on ecology as a transversal theme; 2) on ecology as an ecumenical theme; 3)
on the root metaphor of the �whole household of God�; 4) on Christian doctrinal
assumptions on such a household; and 5) on the (ecological) limitations of the
metaphor of the whole household of God.
