Love God, Heal Earth: 21 Leading Religious Voices Speak Out on Our Sacred Duty to Protect the Environment What does it take to power a great awakening about Earth's environmental crisis? Until recently, science has been alone in sounding the alarms while many religious leaders have held back, viewing global warming as a purely secular issue. Now, in an unprecedented demonstration of unity and moral purpose, religious voices from across the spectrum--liberal, conservative, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists--are joining in one of the largest movements in human history...declaring the environment to be an urgent matter of faith. In Love God, Heal Earth: 21 Leading Religious Voices Speak Out on Our Sacred Duty to Protect the Environment (St. Lynn's Press, 2009, ISBN: 798-0-9800288-3-6, $17.95), the Rev. Canon Sally G. Bingham brings together 21 highly regarded spiritual leaders from diverse faiths to make the case for environmental stewardship and show how their faith communities are tackling the issue of religion and environment. -- Erik Hoffner Orion Grassroots Network 888-909-6568 http://www.oriongrassroots.org The Orion Grassroots Network provides services and support to grassroots organizations engaged in ecological, social, and cultural change. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
