Summary

Why the Environment Is a Religious Issue-An Interfaith Dialogue As featured in Bill Moyers's PBS special "Spirit and Nature," leaders from major traditions around the world speak out in this volume about what spiritual resources we may turn to in our age of unprecedented danger to the planet. "Spirit and Nature is superb. The message here is that the human community and the natural world will go into the future as a single sacred community, or both will perish on the way." -Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth
