My new edited book, Making Peace with the Earth: Action and Advocacy for Climate Justice (WCC) is now available.

This project started 2 years at the World Council of Churches (WCC) working group on climate change in Germany. It appeared to be an easy enough project until I realize that having contributors around the world was going to be a challenge.

This difficult task of putting together a book with contributors from around the world was overcome by the wonderful help of the WCC editor, Michael West. To him I am greatly indebted.

Please do register for the 2016 Spirituality Gathering “Justice Lives in Relationship” at Earlham School of Religion, April 27, 2016.

We have tried arguments for environmental concern, doctrines, and of course moralizing and guilt-trips. None seem to transform human action. So in our time together let’s explore a more fruitful route: ecospirituality.
