Spiritual Ecology: The Cry of the Earth

Description

The first edition of this book fostered the emergence of the “Spiritual
Ecology Movement,” which recognizes the need for a spiritual response to our
present ecological crisis. It drew an overwhelmingly positive response from
readers, many of whom are asking the simple question, “What can I do?” This
second expanded edition offers new chapters, including two from younger
authors who are putting the principles of spiritual ecology into action,
working with their hands as well as their hearts. It also includes a new
preface and revised chapter by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, that reference two major
recent events: the publication of Pope Francis’s encyclical, “On Care for Our
Common Home,” which brought into the mainstream the idea that “the ecological
crisis is essentially a spiritual problem”; and the 2015 Paris Climate Change
Conference, which saw representatives from nearly 200 countries come together
to address global warming, including faith leaders from many traditions.
Bringing together voices from Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity, and Native
American traditions, as well as from physics, deep psychology, and other
environmental disciplines, this book calls on us to reassess our underlying
attitudes and beliefs about the Earth and wake up to our spiritual as well as
physical responsibilities toward the planet. Read more
