With news of Trump in Korea this week, and talk of the unlimited potential of human endeavors to reshape the planet as a technology-enabled paradise, this parable of the red cranes offers a different viewpoint. In the DMZ between North and South Korea there live rare majestic birds whose habitat would be crushed by development if the two countries reunited. Both plan to build a massive city on the mouth of the river in the DMZ, making the cranes extinct in that country. Their livelihood depends on a fragile truce. The pastor asks whether the story of the tower of Babel is about technology and the promise of human endeavors, snuffing out the possibility of a God-centered existence.
