Feminist and liberation theologians have led the way. In the process, the various perspectives have begun to reshape each other. At a time when ecological concerns seem to become more and more ‘wedded to the dominant worldview’, a perspective which re-envisions humanity, the divine, and ecology from the margins might help to develop new horizons. The result is a more constructive ecotheological perspective which will lead us beyond the hegemonic tendencies of romantic or ‘purely factual’ views of the environment. |
