| Abstract |
"This is the definitive African text on ecological ethics, African environmental spirituality, a theology of creation and climate justice. The contributors to this important volume explore the common threats facing this earth our common home and the particular threats facing Africa because of our sick environment, unsustainable development practices, and the false narrative and programs of modernity in the African motherland. Here, African environmentalists, theologians, and peace advocates in conversation with Pope Francis's Laudato si', develop a roadmap for pastoral, local, and global education on ecological consciousness in order to bring about ecological conversion. African ecological wisdom is also offered as indispensable resources for recovering the intimate connection of all creatures and all peoples and as a praxis of solidarity for the poor, and our fragile earth"--Page 4 of cover |
