Why are We Deaf to the Cry of the Earth?
By Sean McDonagh
Human beings and the natural world are on a collision course. We are destroying our air, water and the life-giving quality of sunlight.
Every part of the globe and every ecosystem has been affected. In some situations, like the extinction of species, it is irreversible. Unfortunately, church leaders of all traditions, in common with their counterparts in the educational, industrial, political and financial establishments, have been slow to understand the magnitude of the destruction and the urgency with which we must halt environmental degradation and heal the Earth.
