Love God, Heal Earth: 21 Leading Religious Voices Speak Out on Our Sacred Duty to Protect the Environment

Earth is in crisis … maybe at an environmental tipping point.

by Rev. Canon Sally G. Bingham

Earth is in crisis … maybe at an environmental tipping point. And now, in an unprecedented demonstration of unity and moral purpose, religious leaders from across the spectrum have joined in one of the largest movements in human history.

The goal of this great religious awakening is to heal our wounded planet together, as one unified body of faith.

What does it take to power a great awakening about Earth’s environmental crisis? Until recently, science has been alone in sounding the alarms, while many religious leaders have held back, viewing global warming as a purely secular issue.

Now, in a first-of-its-kind demonstration of unity and moral purpose, religious voices from many faiths — liberal, conservative, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist — are joining in one of the largest collaborations in our history … declaring the environment to be an urgent matter of faith.

Bingham brings together 21 highly regarded spiritual leaders from diverse faiths to make the case for environmental stewardship and to show how their faith communities are tackling the issue of religion and environment.
