| Summary: | The ecotheology represented in this project is situated within the small segment of Earth’s people who are disproportionately: (1) responsible for climate change; (2) beneficiaries of the fossil fuel economy causing it; and (3) protected from its worst consequences. The epistemological underpinnings of our ecotheology are shaped by this social location and the imbalances in power and privilege that have produced them. Is ecotheology developed from this epistemological location capable of challenging those imbalances in power and privilege? Or are sources of theological wisdom outside the boundaries of power and privilege in advanced global capitalism necessary to forge a future not governed by it? This essay pursues these questions. |
