INTRODUCTION
The term "eco-spirituality" draws attention to the cosmos as
a place of God's self-revelation. Ecology studies our total
environment and all the living or non-living creatures that
dwell with us in this cosmic house. Eco-spirituality studies
our relationship to God as it develops in the context of our
relationships with the cosmos in its totality. The challenge of
eco-spirituality is to find God within -- not apart from -- this
totality, and to view the totality as a dynamic,
interdependent process centering on the risen Christ and
growing to perfection in love. "Thus you may have strength
to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth
and length and height and depth, and to know the love of
Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled
with all the fullness of God" (Eph 3:1819).
SPREADING CRISIS
Our beautiful planet does not present a totally enthralling
spectacle today. We have all heard about the major
ecological problems: air pollution; holes in the ozone layer;
nitric- or even sulphuric-acid rain; soil erosion; contamination
of fresh water and of the oceans; deforestation, especially of
tropical rain forests; hazardous waste disposal; and the total
destruction of many biological species. What is threatened is
the biosphere on which present and future generations
depend.
