| 520 | |a In the recent past, eco-theologians have blamed Christianity for its contribution to (post)modern economic systems that don’t support ecological wellbeing on the planet earth. The Christian emphasis on future life in heaven, while neglecting the importance of life on earth, and the belief that human beings are superior to other forms of life play a role in the exploitation of the natural world. On the other hand, eco-theologians have identified resources in the bible and the Christian tradition that could promote the concept of human responsibility for the natural world. In addition, theologians in Africa are searching for resources in local cultures that may enable African Christianity to provide adequate responses to the ecological crisis. This article deals with present shifts in Christianity by analyzing certain ecological features of worship in Africa that could help to advance ecological wellbeing. Considering the concept of lex orandi, lex credendi, espoused by Prosper of Aquitaine, the article contends that worship as expressed in African thought forms may lead to greater unity and ecological wellbeing. | ||
