Description At this time of climate crisis, here is a practical Christian ecospirituality.
Not only does he include almost all important books from his preferred \'kenotic theology, \' to rituals for embodiment and practice, but he also delivers a one-volume analysis and critique of the \'field.\' We are all in his debt for a useful and passionate call for a theological \'conversion\' with accompanying radical action to help save our planet." --Sallie Mc Fague, Professor of Theology Emerita, Vanderbilt University Divini. "If I had to recommend a single recently published text as a must-read for a course on Christianity and ecology, especially climate change, it would be Robert Shore-Goss\'s wide-ranging and clearly written God Is Green: An Eco-Spirituality of Incarnate Compassion.
If we fall in love with God\'s creation, says Shore-Goss, we will fight against climate change.
These practices help us recover ourselves as fleshly members of the earth and the network of life.
This book aims to foster ecological conversation in churches and outlines the following practices for congregations: meditating on nature, inviting sermons on Green topics, covenanting with the earth, and retrieving the natural elements of the sacraments.
This expansion leads to the realization that the incarnation of Christ has deep roots in the earth and the fleshly or biological tissue of life.
Jesus becomes the "Green face of God." Restrictive Christian spiritualities that exclude the earth as an original blessing of God must expand.
Practicing incarnational compassion means following the lived praxis of Jesus and the commission of the risen Christ as Gardener.
Shore-Goss explores an ecospirituality grounded in incarnational compassion.
It emerges from the pastoral and theological experience of Reverend Robert Shore-Goss, who worked with his congregation by making the earth a member of the church, by greening worship, and by helping the church building and operations attain a carbon neutral footprint.
