“Religion would perceive the natural world as the primary revelation of the divine, as primary scripture, as the primary mode of numinous presence. Christian religion would cease its antagonism toward the earth and discover its sacred quality.” — Thomas Berry, "The Dream of the Earth", Random House (1988), p. 105. Eco theology at it's most basic and simple. Far beyond Continue Reading
I've seen this MS Now promo ad, that is claiming to be representing "We the People" and citing the Preamble to the Constitution. “We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves Continue Reading
"The seriously retarded governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz…." says the adolescent in the White House (and an immature, bully-ish variety of adolescent, as many adolescents are more mature and human than this). What an absolute child. (And once again, an immature, cruel, scared one, as most children are innately trusting, compassionate, and fun-loving). The guy is a ZERO. And the Continue Reading
Just saw an ad for the newly rebranded "MS Now" (had been MSNBC). It recited "We the People" pre-amble to the Constitution. While those values are under siege in our present reality, the most important "re-branding" is still absent: The necessity of rechanneling our media and efforts toward a serious response to the Ecological Crisis, or none of our efforts Continue Reading
As I come nearer to the conclusion of Boff's "Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor", he is getting more and more insistent on that need/requirement for an EcoReformation that eclipses the scale and scope of all prior Reformations, for the Ecological Crisis demands that our theology be far more direct and "apocalyptic" in it's approach. But "Apocalypse", as Continue Reading
“In 1969, while the worldwide youth "revolution" of 1968 was still in full swing, physicist Werner Heisenberg (who formulated the uncertainty principle) made some observations that provide a fruitful starting point for our topic. His conference to the Association of German Scientists was titled "Changes in the Thought Structure Produced by Scientific Progress." Actually, he originally intended to call it Continue Reading
“The science is also clear about how we might do this. Build renewable energy sources, transmission lines to carry that energy where needed, and batteries to store that energy, which would push aside fossil fuels. Stop heating and cooking with dirty fuels. Learn how to make cement and plastics and steel without spewing carbon dioxide. Replace gasoline cars with electric Continue Reading

I am blown away by the level of scientific respect and insight in the "theological" work of Leonardo Boff in "Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor". Looking like I'm going to have to part with some money and buy the Kindle version. Boff is a great antidote to the notion that theology is inherently hostile to or ignorant Continue Reading
The below text is grabbed from the screenshot provided by Andy Revkin at https://x.com/Revkin/status/1959981987193667792/photo/1 "suppresses critical scientific facts because those facts inconveniently stand in the way of the administration's political agenda" fromtheprow.agu.org "All That's Gold Does Not Glitter" By: Brandon Jones ON 20 AUGUST 2025 AT 9:15 AM "At the end of this week, federal agencies will have submitted their Continue Reading
Eco-Reformation* is needed! Nothing less, for STARTERS.“It is now time for us to do a collective calling-in for our survival. And we’re going to need these folks who claim to hold the moral center of our hearts and our societies to actually understand that if you are neutral, says Bishop Desmond Tutu, in the face of Continue Reading
I am so struck right now (and most other times) at how concerned Bill McKibben was in '08 when he wrote what I'm now re-reading in "Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and The Durable Future", and to see how much worse things have gotten, and much faster than he knew then. McKibben was much better informed (he saw to Continue Reading
Because the politics is just a tool to their access to power and wealth. It exposes how their "claims" to "morality" and "Pro Life" have always been smokescreens to hide this actual grounding in "whatever gets us to the pinnacle". Imposters.https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/08/why-evangelicals-couldnt-care-less-about-trumps-epstein-scandal/
Here's another of those posts whose content I can full agree and feel strongly about. But what it is missing is the deception of our time that threatens to pull the rug out from under all our political, economic, social lives, as well as our very lives and that of most all surrounding life: the deception that we can ignore Continue Reading
Screenshot of an oldie but a goodie in the realm of “Theological” Denial of any Ecological Crisis. Check that context sir. “created things” is not the earth, but man-made idols. There is zero reference to people who honor the earth and strive to “keep” it as it is proclaimed in Genesis 2 as God’s purpose for humans. Do some reading Continue Reading
