Whole-Earth Ethics for Holy Ground - The Development and Practice of 'Sacramental' Creation Spirituality

Earth is facing an ecological crisis. If the Church had offered a more sacred view of creation we might have avoided much of this, but even now we can offer younger generations a sacramental creation spirituality-Holy Communion with the whole Earth-that will serve them better than traditional Christianity's scientific and spiritual indifference to nature.
