| Summary: | In a time when climate change and other ecological disturbances wreak havoc upon both human and natural "households," how can the people of God respond beyond anger and acedia, or sloth?

The authors' experiences with the River of Life Pilgrimage and Church of the Woods provide concrete examples of how the human members of the Body of Christ can be restored to kinship with our non-human sisters and brothers in Christ through immersion, song, praise, and sharing of bread and wine. |
