1. Overview, by Elizabeth McAnally
Hello!
Welcome to the December 2015 issue of the newsletter for the Forum on Religion and Ecology. We have much to share with you this month with regards to developments in the field of Religion and Ecology, including videos, publications, calls for papers, events, job openings, and more.
On November 30 to December 11, 2015, the 21st annual Conference of Parties (COP21) is being held in Paris, France. This conference is extremely important, as it will attempt to “achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2°C” (http://www.cop21paris.org/about/cop21). For more, see this helpful newsroom of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change: http://newsroom.unfccc.int/ In light of COP21, religious traditions are sharing climate change statements that are calling for action from religious communities, as well as the government leaders who are meeting at COP21. We are very excited to share with you three of the most recent climate change statements from Buddhists, Hindus, and the Black Church. For more about these important statements, see below. Also note this page of the Forum website on climate change statements from the world’s religions: http://fore.yale.edu/climate-change/statements-from-world-religions/
We want to direct your attention to a couple items that feature Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, “Praised Be: On the Care of Our Common Home” (Laudato Si’). A special report has been released by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication. You can read this new report entitled The Francis Effect: How Pope Francis Changed the Conversation about Global Warming here: http://environment.yale.edu/climate-communication/article/the-francis-effect/
Also, we want to share with you videos of a series of talks on Laudato Si’ held at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Baltimore, MD, USA. YouTube links to these talks by Stephen Scharper, John Haught, and Mary Evelyn Tucker are provided below. There are a number of resources on the Forum site (http://fore.yale.edu/) to provide you more information on the encyclical, in which Pope Francis highlights issues of “integral ecology,” namely concerns for people and the planet.
We would like to invite you to Paul Winter’s 36th Annual Winter Solstice Celebration. This celebration will be held December 17-19 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. For more, see below or visit: http://paulwinter.com/winter_solstice/

2. New Study: The Francis Effect: How Pope Francis Changed the Conversation about Global Warming
The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication has released a special report from their new study: The Francis Effect: How Pope Francis changed the conversation about global warming. Today more Americans and more American Catholics are worried about global warming than six months ago and more believe it will have significant impacts on human beings. Some of these changes in Americans’ and American Catholics’ views can be attributed to the Pope’s teachings, as 17 percent of Americans and 35 percent of Catholics say his position on global warming influenced their own views of the issue. The report’s results draw from a unique study design of within-subject surveys of a nationally representative sample of American adults conducted in the Spring, prior to the release of the Pope’s encyclical Laudato Si’, and again in the Fall, after the Pope’s visit to the United States.

3. Buddhist Climate Statement to World Leaders
On October 29, 2015, Buddhist leaders from around the world announced a Buddhist Climate Change Statement, urging government leaders to move away from fossil fuels and move toward 100 percent renewable energy. This statement is spearheaded by the Global Buddhist Climate Change Collective. On November 29, a number of eminent national and international Buddhist women leaders from around the world joined list of signers to the statement.

“Hindu Religious and Civil Society Leaders Urge Climate Change Action”
Press Release for Hindu Declaration on Climate Change
http://www.hinduclimatedeclaration2015.org/launch_annoucement
On November 23, 2015, the Hindu Declaration on Climate Change was launched, calling for action from both the world’s 900 million Hindus as well as by the 196 governments meeting in Paris November 30 through December 11 at the 21st Conference of Contracting Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 21). The Declaration is an initiative of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies / Bhumi Project, in partnership with the Hindu American Foundation the interfaith environmental organisation GreenFaith and the interfaith campaign for climate action OurVoices. The Declaration asks the world’s 900 million Hindus to transition to using clean energy, adopt a plant-based diet, and lead lives in harmony with the natural world.

5. Black Church Climate Change Statement
On October 29, 2015, the Black Church Climate Change Statement was released. Statement drafters include Dr. Samuel Tolbert, Jr. (President, National Baptist Convention of America), Dr. Jessie Bottoms (Vice President, National Baptist Convention USA), Bishop Seth Lartey (AMEZ), Bishop Ronald Cunningham (CME), Dr. Carroll Baltimore (Global United Fellowship), and Dr. Leonard Lovett (COGIC).
The statement reads, “As leaders in the Black Church, we view climate change as a moral issue and one of the greatest public health challenges of our time, particularly for black and other marginalized communities. Breathing dirty, carbon-polluted air, that causes climate change contributes to thousands of asthma attacks, hospital visits, and premature deaths every year. Black and lower income communities are often hit the hardest by climate change in the United States. In Genesis, breath is declared a God given right, yet, almost 40 percent of the six million Americans living in close proximity to a coal power plant are people of color.”

6. President Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline
Indigenous activists and environmentalists hailed President Barack Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday November 6, calling it a victory for Mother Earth and a step toward shutting down the Alberta oil sands entirely.
“In the fight against Keystone XL our efforts as indigenous peoples, whether Lakota, Dakota, Assiniboine, Ponca, Cree, Dene or other, has always been in the defense of Mother Earth and the sacredness of the water,” said Tom Goldtooth, head of the Indigenous Environmental Network, in a statement. “Today, with this decision, we feel those efforts have been validated. With the rejection of Keystone XL we have not only protected the sacredness of the land and water but have also helped our Cree & Dene relatives at the source take one step closer to shutting down the tar sands. The black snake, Keystone XL, has been defeated, and best believe we will dance to our victory!”

8. New Publications
Earth Ethics: A Case Method Approach
By James B. Martin-Schramm, Dan Spencer, and Laura A. Stivers
Orbis Press, 2015
http://www.orbisbooks.com/earth-ethics.html
A revision of the highly successful textbook Christian Environmental Ethics: A Case Method Approach, this volume introduces new topics in environmental ethics, including hydraulic fracturing, greenhouse gases, food consumption, and resource stewardship, and revisits traditional topics in environmental ethics, while expanding beyond a specifically Christian hermeneutic. Employing a tried-and-true method first used at Harvard Business School, the authors present material both old and new in a clear and pertinent fashion. In addition, the structure of the book allows teachers (both high school and university) to separate out discrete issues for study and discussion.
Earth Ethics is part of “Ecology and Justice: An Orbis Series on Integral Ecology.” The Orbis Series on Integral Ecology publishes books seeking to integrate an understanding of Earth’s interconnected life systems with sustainable social, political, and economic systems that enhance the Earth community.

Ecozoic Spirituality: The Symphony of God, Humanity, and the Universe
By Kwang Sun Choi
Series: Asian Thought and Culture, Volume 72
Peter Lang International Academic Publishers, 2015
http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=80761
This book guides the reader to the emerging Ecozoic Era when humans will be present upon the Earth in a mutually enhancing manner. Indeed, this book calls for an Ecozoic spirituality that is timely and much needed. It also illustrates an important direction for theology and spirituality and for deep ecumenism that is yet to be fully realized and opens more doors for such dialogue. By giving special attention to the integral relationship among God, the cosmos, and humanity, the works of Thomas Berry (1914–2009, USA) and Zhou Dunyi (1017–1073, China) provide insights that speak to the current ecological crisis, a cosmological context for developing an Ecozoic spirituality, while helping to advance clear values and ethical parameters that lead to a more authentic human presence on Earth.

Sacred Mountains: A Christian Ethical Approach to Mountaintop Removal
By Andrew R. H. Thompson
University of Kentucky Press, 2015
http://www.kentuckypress.com/live/title_detail.php?titleid=3976#.VlNtfb8m9Wx
In Sacred Mountains, Andrew R. H. Thompson proposes a Christian ethical analysis of the controversial mining practice that has increasingly divided the nation and has often led to fierce and even violent confrontations. Thompson draws from the arguments of H. Richard Niebuhr, whose work establishes an ideal foundation for understanding Appalachia. Thompson provides a thorough introduction to the issues surrounding surface mining, including the environmental consequences and the resultant religious debates, and highlights the discussions being carried out in the media and by scholarly works. He also considers five popular perspectives (ecofeminism, liberation theology, environmental justice, environmental pragmatism, and political ecology) and offers his own framework and guidelines for moral engagement with the subject.

Baptized with the Soil: Christian Agrarians and the Crusade for Rural America
By Kevin M. Lowe
Oxford University Press, 2015
https://global.oup.com/academic/product/baptized-with-the-soil-9780190249458?cc=us&lang=en&
In the early twentieth century, mainline Protestant churches and cooperative organizations began to come together to promote agrarianism: the belief that the health of the nation depended on small rural communities and family farms. In Baptized with the Soil, Kevin M. Lowe offers for the first time a comprehensive history of the Protestant commitment to rural America. Christian agrarians believed that farming was the most moral way of life and a means for people to serve God by taking care of the earth that God created. Because they believed that the earth was holy, Christian agrarians also became leaders in promoting soil conservation. Decades before the environmental movement, they inspired an ethic of environmental stewardship in their congregations.

Manifesto for Living in the Anthropocene
Edited by Katherine Gibson, Deborah Bird Rose, and Ruth Fincher
Punctum Books, 2015
Buy the hardcopy or download the open-access e-book for free:
http://punctumbooks.com/titles/manifesto-for-living-in-the-anthropocene/
In light of the tragedy of anthropogenic climate change, it is important to tap into the emotional richness of grief about extinction and loss without getting stuck on the “blame game.” Our research must allow for the expression of grief and mourning for what has been and is daily being lost. But it is important to adopt a reparative rather than a purely critical stance toward knowing. Might it be possible to welcome the pain of “knowing” if it led to different ways of working with non-human others, recognizing a confluence of desire across the human/non-human divide and the vital rhythms that animate the world?

Contemporary Perspectives on Ecofeminism
Edited by Mary Phillips and Nick Rumens
Routledge, 2015
https://www.routledge.com/products/9781138019744
This book provides a much-needed comprehensive overview of the relevance and value of using eco-feminist theories. It gives a broad coverage of traditional and emerging eco-feminist theories and explores, across a range of chapters, their various contributions and uniquely spans various strands of ecofeminist thinking. The origins of influential eco-feminist theories are discussed including key themes and some of its leading figures (contributors include Erika Cudworth, Greta Gaard, Trish Glazebrook and Niamh Moore), and outlines its influence on how scholars might come to a more generative understanding of the natural environment. The book examines eco-feminism’s potential contribution for advancing current discussions and research on the relationships between the humans and more than humans that share our world.

10. Eco-Reformation – Preparing for 2017: The 500th Anniversary of the Reformation
We are approaching the observance of the five hundredth anniversary of the Sixteenth Century Reformation in 2017. As preparation for this event, Lutherans Restoring Creation urges us to consider embracing a New Reformation, an Eco-Reformation, as our means to rise to the greatest challenge of our time. Many Lutherans are committed to fostering an ongoing reformation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that incorporates ecological justice into the full life, identity, and mission of the ELCA. There is now an informal group of theologians, teachers, pastors, and lay people working to promote this goal. This group is in process of working with many Lutheran leaders and organizations to make plans to seize the 2017 anniversary observance and the events leading up to it as opportunities to make headway in this effort.
