Ecology of Vocation - Recasting Calling in a New Planetary Era

In this book, Kiara A. Jorgenson draws on early Protestant thought to recast vocation as the interrelated space between our myriad roles. When understood apart from the contexts of work-as-vocation or passion (as avocation), vocation can extend the conception of neighbor beyond the human and lead to ecologically responsible living.
