With the growing awareness of the environmental crisis, religions are now poised to move into their ecological phase. From the Pope to the Dalai Lama, religious leaders are beginning to speak out about the moral nature of the crisis. Grassroots projects of religious environmentalism are emerging across the country. Universities are offering courses in religion and ecology, and eco-theologians are helping to reshape their tradition. Please join us for a discussion with Mary Evelyn of this life-generating new alliance, to which Genesis Farm is committed.
