2. New Book: Living Cosmology: Christian Responses to Journey of the Universe

Living Cosmology: Christian Responses to Journey of the Universe
Edited by Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim
Foreword by Brian Thomas Swimme
Ecology & Justice Orbis Series
Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2016
Flyer: http://fore.yale.edu/files/Living_Cosmology_flyer.pdf
http://www.orbisbooks.com/living-cosmology.html
http://www.amazon.com/Living-Cosmology-Christian-Responses-Universe/dp/1626981787

Journey of the Universe is a book, a film, and a conversation series by Mary Evelyn Tucker and Brian Thomas Swimme that offers a rich unfolding of “the universe story”—a moving narrative of cosmic evolution from the origins of the cosmos to the present. This volume explores the Christian responses to Journey of the Universe and its implications for the contemporary environmental crisis. Beginning with recent statements by Pope Francis and the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the book draws on the contributions of leading theologians, ethicists, scientists, and activists, including John Haught, Ilia Delio, Catherine Keller, Larry Rasmussen, and more than twenty-five others.

This volume is a collection of papers from the 2014 “Living Cosmology” conference at Yale University held in honor of Thomas Berry’s 100th birthday. For more about this conference, including videos of the talks, visit: http://www.journeyoftheuniverse.org/living-cosmology-conference/

Living Cosmology: Christian Responses to Journey of the Universe is the newest book in the Ecology and Justice Series on Integral Ecology. Published by Orbis Books, this series seeks to integrate an understanding of Earth’s interconnected life systems with sustainable social, political, and economic systems that enhance the Earth community.

3. New Publications

Making Peace with the Earth: Action and Advocacy for Climate Justice
Edited by Grace Ji-Sun Kim
World Council of Churches, 2016
http://www.amazon.com/Making-Peace-Earth-Advocacy-Climate/dp/2825416681/ref=la_B001KI2QIU_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1456937674&sr=1-7

The greatest untapped natural resource for addressing the world’s most pressing problems comes from the energy of religiously committed people. This book gathers the expertise of activists, theologians, and faith-based organizations to inspire and encourage churches everywhere in grassroots work and advocacy for climate justice. No issue so violates the core of Christian convictions as the jeopardizing of human life and creation through climate change. Writing from the concrete experiences and efforts of churches in Greece, Scotland, Sweden, Finland, Germany, tropical Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands, the book’s contributors also address related issues of health, human rights, land and deforestation, food security, migration, divestment, as well as creation spirituality and theology. The book points out that making peace with the earth will not be easy, but now is the time for religious leaders, church people, and organizations to make the climate their priority.

Digital Detachment: How Computers Undermine Democracy
By Chet Bowers
Routledge, 2016
https://www.routledge.com/products/9781138186866

The digital revolution is changing the world in ecologically unsustainable ways: (1) it increases the economic and political power of the elites controlling and interpreting the data; (2) it is based on the deep assumptions of market liberalism that do not recognize environmental limits; (3) it undermines face-to-face and context-specific forms of knowledge; (4) it undermines awareness of the metaphorical nature of language; (5) its promoters are driven by the myth of progress and thus ignore important cultural traditions of the cultural commons that are being lost; and (6) it both by-passes the democratic process and colonizes other cultures. This book provides an in-depth examination of these phenomena and connects them to questions of educational reform in the US and beyond.

Faith & Climate Change: A guide to talking with the five major faiths”
Climate Outreach
February 2016
http://climateoutreach.org/download/7005/

This guide is intended to provide practical guidance for climate communicators, both inside and outside faith communities, about what language works well and – crucially – what language might pose an obstacle for communicating with any specific faith group. In April 2015, GreenFaith asked Climate Outreach to develop and test language around climate change that could mobilise activity across five main faith groups (in alphabetical order: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism) in the run-up to the 2015 world climate conference in Paris. This research may be the first of its kind: not only does it seek language that works with each of the faiths, it seeks language that works across all of them.

Christian Monastic Lands as Protected Landscapes and Community Conserved Areas: An Overview”
By Josep-Maria Mallarach, Josep Corcó and Thymio Papayannis
Parks 22, no.1 (March 2016): 63-78.
http://parksjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/PARKS-22.1-Mallarach-et-al-10.2305IUCN.CH_.2016.PARKS-22-1JMM.en_.pdf

This paper explores whether the essential features of the Indigenous peoples’ and community conserved territories and areas (ICCAs) and the criteria of the Protected Landscape Approach are met in Christian monastic territories. Inspired by spiritual principles and applying traditional ecological knowledge, monastic communities developed distinctive natural resource management models, resulting in beautiful, harmonious and diverse landscapes for many centuries. In many countries, modern protected areas have been established on the sites of existing or former monastic lands, thereby creating positive synergies but also new challenges both for conservation and for the monastic communities. This paper shows that monastic communities are one of the oldest self-organized communities with a continuous written record in conservation management. Most Christian monastic conserved lands should be considered community conserved areas usually Category V –Protected Landscapes. The paper also argues that monastic communities’ experiences in adapting to and overcoming environmental and economic crises is relevant to both managers and policy-makers involved in protected and high biodiversity areas, especially in regions where the protected landscape approach may be more effective.

10. “Protect God’s Creation: New England Ocean Treasures”

Creation Justice Ministries invites you to support the effort to establish the first marine national monument in the Atlantic Ocean. The monument area would include areas home to more than 600 species: five coral canyons, four seamounts (underwater mountains), and an area that scientists believe is the last remaining in-tact New England marine ecosystem, Cashes Ledge. As a matter of faithful stewardship of God’s gifts, it is a moral imperative to shelter this underwater modern “Noah’s ark” from potential harm. Just like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellowstone, New England’s Ocean Treasures are special and deserve permanent protection so they can thrive for generations to come.

11. GoodLand Project

The mission of the GoodLand Project is to increase the Catholic Church’s understanding and planning of its landholdings using geographic information technologies and community involvement in order to demonstrate how these lands can be a means for positive global environmental and social change.

They use mapping technology to reveal high-impact opportunities that will allow Church lands to function for the environmental and social greater good. They seek to promote care for creation through sustainable land-use planning that is sensitive to human ecology, environmental ecology, and economic realities. Their hope is to transform a sense of ownership of land into a sense of stewardship amongst communities through top-down planning efforts combined with bottom-up community involvement and education.
