Rövid leírás:
This study presents concrete evidence that churches and faith organizations are reconnecting with conservation and working to save the natural world. Drawing on interviews and field visits across the country, McDuff uses a framework of five bioregions in which to present the responses of churches to pressing environmental issues. She shows that the local congregation is a powerful vehicle for connecting social and environmental justice in a community. Despite the
growth of this movement, she argues, most environmental professionals are unaware of the power of this partnership between Christians and conservation. This book will help to bring churches, faith organizations, and environmental activists together in the service of this vital cause.

At La Capilla de Santa María, parishioners weatherized their church in an effort to decrease the utility bills that took up a fifth of the annual budget. At Jubilee Community Church, parents and the education coordinator revised the Sunday School curriculum to integrate care of creation for all age levels. And at All People's Church in Milwaukee, the sanctuary became a free farmer's market on Sundays with produce grown by youth.
Natural Saints shares the stories and strategies of contemporary church leaders, parishioners, and religious environmentalists working to define a new environmental movement, where justice as a priority for the church means a clean and safe environment for all. Mallory McDuff shows that a focus on God's earth is transforming both people and congregations, creating more relevant and powerful ministries . As a result, people of faith are forming a new environmental movement with a moral mandate
to care for God's earth.
McDuff highlights eight key ministries: protecting human dignity, feeding the hungry, creating sacred spaces, responding to natural disasters, promoting justice, making a pilgrimage, educating youth, and bearing witness. With two daughters in tow, she traveled across the country to document environmental actions grounded in faith. This journey transformed the author's own faith and hope for a sustainable future. Congregations and individuals seeking to integrate care of creation into their
faith community will find inspiration and concrete advice in the lives of these natural saints.
Mallory McDuff provides a narrative on the church's role with environmental issues that is rich with stories and contextual detail. This book is a must read for anyone interested in how churches are working to protect God's Creation.
