At the heart of the current global environmental crisis lie difficult moral choices, which are central to religion. This book explores the connections between faith and ecology, seeking to redefine and strengthen the bond between the two. VOICES OF HOPE portrays the lives of individual women and men who are searching to give life a new or renewed vision of humans' relationship to the earth, and describes actions to nurture and protect the environment launched by faith-based environmental groups. The authors' journey begins with the prophetic voice of Thomas Berry, co-author of The Universe Story, and moves onto the lives, ideas, and beliefs about the environment of key spiritual leaders, thinkers, and activists in Judaism, Western and Eastern Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and the faiths of indigenous peoples. It concludes with a series of vignettes in which faith leaders, secular environmentalists, and religiously oriented activists have joined together to sustain the environment and prevent its further destruction.
