Faith and the Greening of Earth
Earth’s changing climate is increasingly obvious, and if humans are largely responsible, we all have a part in the solution. The purpose of this book a faith perspective to Earthcare, and in particular to demonstrate how Earthcare is an integral part of the Christian Faith and therefore of Christian mission. It is not a peripheral issue or an optional extra! Moreover, the Christian Faith can interact not only with other faith perspectives, but also with science, and with all who simply care. And in the process of caring for the Earth, we can build bridges of understanding rather than walls of division. “Faith and the Greening of Earth” invites the inquiring reader into realistic scenarios and offers high-value resources with integrity. Rev Dr Wayne Sanderson A well summarised affirmation of Earthcare as an integral part of faith and an important dimension of Christian mission.
STRENGTH FOR LIVING and OTHER REFLECTIONS for the Christian Year
The Ficus Religiosa, or Sacred Fig tree, featured on the cover of this book, can grow quite large. The secret of the tree’s strength is not simply in its size, as in the root system, which provides both stability and nourishment for the tree. But a tree does not usually stand in isolation; it is part of a forest, and in that way the trees are able to help strengthen each other. What the eye does not see is that the root systems underground can be intertwined, thus adding additional strength. The reflections in this book are designed to help us to maintain spiritual strength for living in a faith community, and to go deeper in our relationship with God.
