A Leap of Faith

No, this is not a sermon about guilt or about recycling. This is a sermon about a different aspect of environmentally friendly living, one I believe is going to be absolutely necessary if any real change is to be possible. This is a sermon about a new way of thinking; a new global consciousness that will hopefully, in time, become as systemic as the ways we think now that have so subtly enabled our subjugation of nature. A leap of faith I call it, in which our faith, our trust, our fascination even, takes a leap, down from the clouds of dualistic misconception, to the here and now of earth. This is what I call the “greening of theology”: bringing religion to the earth.
