Prayer, The Catalyst For Climate Change by Steve Lyston Pdf

PRAYER, The Catalyst for Climate ChangeWith the world abuzz on the issue of Climate Change and its effects on our environment globally, this topic has become a part of many if not every conversation and agenda, including the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. However, there is much more to Climate Change than many realize, and it is not an issue that began in this century. Everywhere we look, it is becoming increasingly undeniable that Climate Change is bigger than the human race and deeper than just being about us. God created the environment perfectly. However, it is man's actions - decisions, choices, laws and value systems, as well as man's compromised moral standards and level of greed which have brought us all to this point. Indeed, man's actions determine what happens in and to our environment at every level. If we are to address Climate Change in its entirety, we need to have the balanced view of both spiritual and natural elements, and the Creator cannot be excluded from the Creation. Prayer, The Catalyst For Climate Change, identifies the problems and shows the solutions from a balanced perspective, to bring change; and to help us all recognize that Prayer is the number one catalyst for Climate Change.

A Million Prayers to Solve Our Climate Crisis by Peter Fargo Pdf

Is climate change real? Does the Bible say anything about it? Are Christians called to help solve it? Yes. Climate change is already happening. It threatens God's people-all of us, our children, and generations of unborn children. Climate change also threatens the rest of God's creation. Although solving climate change can sometimes seem impossible, Christians need not despair. We are people of faith, hope, and love. We believe in God, the all-powerful Creator of heaven and earth, and we believe that God answers prayers. Will you join a million other Christians in prayer to help solve our climate crisis? "For nothing will be impossible with God" (Luke 1:37).

The Green Devotional by Karen Speerstra Pdf

Secular and sacred, ancient and new, words for contemplation—and inspiration to act in defense of the earth. Our planet, our home, is in crisis, plain and simple—and this collection of quotes, poems, essays, and prayers will inspire all to actively reverse the man-made causes of global warming, stem the tide of environmental destruction, and reconnect to the good earth. Short essays of topical interest introduce each of the eight sections of this book, and the 250 voices inside, most of them contemporary, began to harmonize together as they seem to call out for their own canonical structure — one bounded by the ancient elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. This collection of voices is like a “green book of devotional hours,” reminiscent of the Books of Hours medieval people used to hold in their palms. And like that medieval book, The Green Devotional reminds us that we are connected to something broader and wiser than ourselves. Including selections from Rachel Carson, Cornel West, Bill McKibben, Alice Walker, Sue Monk Kidd, Dean Koontz, Barbara Kingsolver, Daniel Pinchbeck, Arundhati Roy, and many others, The Green Devotional ends with a section of “Closing Prayers” that prepare us not just to go to sleep, but to rest up for another day of passionate action.

Prayer Book for Our Planet by Marybeth Gallagher, R N Pdf

Our planet is engaged in a struggle for survival, as critical issues impact it in alarming ways. The earth's ecological breakdown is outpacing our efforts to save it. The warming of the atmosphere caused sea levels to rise and submerge Venice, Italy in 2019. The food supplies we grow do not sustain us, and three-quarters of the world suffers from malnutrition, starvation, or lack of a potable water supply. Familiar species are decimated to extinction, or to the verge of it. The threat of nuclear war has increased to the extent that the Doomsday Clock has reached 100 seconds to midnight. Civil liberties are eroding worldwide, as authoritarian states impose brutality and increased restrictions on them. The world unites in a crescendo of protests over often deadly policing policies that affect people of color and peaceful activists. Those who disclose their gender identity are often faced with violence and intolerance. This book is written for a global audience that is caught up in a powerful indisposition to change, and for a planet in crisis. Its goal is to promote world peace, social justice, and restoration of Earth's natural habitats. These ideals are achievable by elevating our global consciousness through a world of healed individuals. The prayers in Prayer Book for Our Planet emphasize healing of self, and embody classical principles of recovery. They juxtapose divisive rhetoric and prejudice with world communal gardening, global peace and prosperity. Watson calls upon IBM's supercomputer by that name to solve world hunger, homelessness and disease for 820 million people by 2025. The prayers attack Earth's environmental and societal ills at their root causes, and offer reasonable solutions to them. The message they convey is that God created and sustains the universe, and that He must occupy a central place in our lives for personal and planetary healing to occur. Prayer Book establishes God's presence among us in a venerable way. We know that through the persistent efforts of an inspired few, much good has been done in the world. I hope to inspire many others to action. The prayers are interspersed with scriptural tenets and secular quotes, from Darwin to Gandhi, Aristotle to Shakespeare, and the Book of Genesis to Albert Schweitzer. The wisdom of spiritual leaders including Jesus Christ, St. Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis, and the Dalai Lama, is echoed in the book. The mission of Prayer Book for Our Planet is to generate a world of committed individuals that embody a new spiritual awareness, one that promotes world peace, ecological restoration, and equality of mankind.

The Gospel of Climate Skepticism by Robin Globus Veldman Pdf

Why are white evangelicals the most skeptical major religious group in America regarding climate change? Previous scholarship has pointed to cognitive factors such as conservative politics, anti-science attitudes, aversion to big government, and theology. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, The Gospel of Climate Skepticism reveals the extent to which climate skepticism and anti-environmentalism have in fact become embedded in the social world of many conservative evangelicals. Rejecting the common assumption that evangelicals’ skepticism is simply a side effect of political or theological conservatism, the book further shows that between 2006 and 2015, leaders and pundits associated with the Christian Right widely promoted skepticism as the biblical position on climate change. The Gospel of Climate Skepticism offers a compelling portrait of how during a critical period of recent history, political and religious interests intersected to prevent evangelicals from offering a unified voice in support of legislative action to address climate change.

Rooted and Rising by Leah D. Schade,Margaret Bullitt-Jonas Pdf

Rooted and Rising is for everyone who worries about the climate crisis and seeks spiritual practices and perspectives to renew their capacity for compassionate, purposeful, and joyful action. Leah Schade and Margaret Bullitt-Jonas gather twenty-one faith leaders, scientists, community organizers, theologians, and grassroots climate activists to offer wisdom for fellow pilgrims grappling with the weight of climate change. Acknowledging the unprecedented nature of our predicament—the fact that climate disruption is unraveling the web of life and threatening the end of human civilization—the authors share their stories of grief and hope, fear and faith. Together, the essays, introductory sections, and discussion questions reveal that our present crisis can elicit a depth of wisdom, insight, and motivation with power to guide us toward a more peaceful, just, and Earth-honoring future. With a foreword by Mary Evelyn Tucker and a special introduction by Bill McKibben, the book presents an interfaith perspective that welcomes and challenges readers of all backgrounds.

Seeding the Future by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee Pdf

In the early days of the pandemic, for a few months our world slowed down and almost stopped. In this space I was drawn to listen to a different rhythm, the silence and sounds of the natural world and the deeper pulse of the Earth. Those months soon passed, and the pandemic not only took us into fears for our health and an economic crisis, but soon afterwards into the fragmented, divisive dramas around masks and vaccines. But the memory of a quieter, clearer world remained, and the sense of how this nourishes the soul and the Earth. Over the next year as I walked the beaches and wetlands nearby, I became more and more immersed in this primal landscape, sensing it has a quality we need for a new human story. I wrote a series of articles exploring this “deep ecology of consciousness,” describing it as a seed for a living future. They are collected together here. —Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, December 2021 "In the depths of the pandemic, the great Sufi teacher, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, explored the primal, sacred landscape ever-present below our divisiveness. What he retrieved there is gathered in this compelling collection of personal essays. He has somehow woven the perennial seeds of Spirit into a deep ecology of consciousness that can help us build a better world. This book is medicine for our times." —MARK NEPO, author of The Book of Soul and More Together Than Alone
