The narrative about the issue of change (social, global, anthropological, cultural, etc.) is usually presented as something to understand, in order to formulate ethical and theoretical answers to prevent its damages — in case of unfavorable events —, or to exploit it — in case of more favorable times —. Nevertheless, the opposite hypothesis will be evoked for the panel. Certainly, any kind of change can be followed, when an ongoing process can be identified with clarity. Unfortunately, this position can bring the risk of a passive attitude, intellectually and ethically speaking, where the initiative is placed outside the subject, or the community. The idea is to reverse the tendence, putting the subject at the center of the action for change. Some consequences need to be taken into account, knowing that a previous definition of what a process is is necessary to go ahead in the reflection. The first consequence is to have a clear conscience about personal and collective need, in order not to invest in something depending exclusively on personal interest (change and interest are not synonyms). The second is to reconsider notions like aim, or purpose (too strictly connected to teleological thinking), so to bring out attitudes such as motivation and care. Linked to this second point, we find the need to give to all those who are involved a representation of possible outcomes of how the wished change can be. The third consequence is to be open and patient. A process can be fast and rich in terms of fruits, but it can also last for generations, and yet being important for the positive energies that it raises. The entire presentation will be put in parallel with some biblical passages, exploring how the action of God can be both fast in outcomes, but also long and patient, like a process is.
