This contribution juxtaposes two root metaphors that are widely used in Christian ecotheology, namely that of “God’s household” (oikos) and that of a journey along “the way” (hodos). These are tested with reference to other proposed metaphors and for their relative adequacy in Christian responses to climate change. It is suggested that the spatial metaphor of the household can be complemented by the temporal metaphor of a journey, given the challenges of a changing climate. Accordingly, home is best understood in an eschatological way. The Earth is indeed our common house but it does not provide a home for all yet.
