| Summary: | This essay pursues the subject of eco-justice spirituality by offering a critique of our ecological crisis in the context of predatory capitalism. Predatory capitalism is the socioeconomic and political system that is driving this rapacious pursuit of profits at the expense of people and the ecosystem. But our ecological crisis is also a matter of faith, particularly of toxic theologies and spiritualities. It is for this reason that we must detoxify toxic theologies and spiritualities. Beyond the call for detoxification, we must articulate theologies or ways of knowing and pursue spiritual practices that promote ecological sensibility. Central to this articulation is the reclaiming of the identity of the church as an embodiment of the green spirit and as followers of the green Christ. Finally, it calls us to action by practicing green spirituality. |
