| Summary: | An important theological dimension which unfolds from the Christian Faith and the Earth project is that of interreligious dialogue in relation to the ecology and the ecological crisis. A global responsibility for the earth community - and a global ethics of - care for humanity and the earth may indeed form the basis - or the common ground - for interreligious dialogue. In this article, I use an ‘encounterology’ approach to investigate the dialogue of life, religious experience, theology, and action, that takes place in the Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI). I conclude that the establishment of SAFCEI and its work creates space and impetus for interreligious earth dialogue as prophetic witness in Southern Africa. |
