Seeing Climate Crisis Denial as a Pastoral Care Issue

Posted on by — Leave a reply

This article on Climate Crisis Denial (http://projectearth.us/why-you-shouldnt-call-climate-deniers-stupid-1797860254) and the comments on this shared by the folks at Years of Living Dangerously (see https://www.facebook.com/YearsOfLiving/posts/1462319603855093 )   highlights something else the church will have to start taking seriously as we try to comprehend and respond to the denial of our ecological situation in this culture.

Happy Mother’s Day To Our Mother who birthed our human race and everything in and from which we live

We can and do remember mothers who are no longer with us in the way we were accustomed, as supportive, nurturing physical and emotional presence as we made our way in the world.
