    Animals in Christian Ethics : Developing a Relational Approach
    Equinox Publishing ; 2002
    In:  Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture ( 2002-08-06), p. 163-185

    In: Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, Equinox Publishing, ( 2002-08-06), p. 163-185
    Abstract: In comparison with the recent growth in writing in environmental theology and ethics, there has been relatively little published in current Christian ethics that specifically addresses human–animal relations. The writer usually cited in this context is Andrew Linzey, who makes a case for animal rights. In this paper, I discuss difficulties with key elements of Linzey’s rights position and with his representation of human–animal power relations. I argue that in developing approaches to animal ethics a wider range of relational and contextual factors should be taken into account, and I consider a number of these factors, including domestication. I suggest that a Christian relational ethic of care for animals may be one way forward in developing such an account.

    Abstract: This paper tells the story of A Rocha, an international Christian conservation organization, founded in 1982, and now working in an increasing number of countries. A Rocha's distinctive inclusive Christian basis is eplored in describing the original Portuguese project, and three more recent ones in Lebenon, Kenya and an urban UK context. Some of the theological and missiological issues A Rocha's work touches upon are considered, including the biblical basis for practical conservation work, and the possibility of mission in a multifaith environment using creation as a starting point

    Joining Creation's Praise of God
    Equinox Publishing ; 2002

    Details
    In: Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, Equinox Publishing, ( 2002-03-07), p. 45-59
    Abstract: In the Bible and the Christian tradition an important aspect of the way the relationship of God, humanity and other creatures is understood is the idea that all creatures praise God and humans are to join in the praise offered by the other creatures. This theme has been misunderstood and neglected in the modern period. We should avoid distorting it in an hierarchical and anthropocentric direction, as happens in the idea that humans are the priests of creation. Instead this theme should act as a strong corrective to hierarchical and anthropocentric views of creation. It puts us among, rather than over the creatures, and encourages us to be helped in our own praise of God by appreciating the value other creatures have for God. Francis of Assisi and the eighteenth-century poet Christopher Smart are ?ne examplars of the way humans may join creation’s praise.

    Turning : Face-to-Face with Limobius Mixtus

    Details
    In: Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, Equinox Publishing, ( 2002-03-07), p. 30-44
    Abstract: This article elaborates on the themes of creativity, compassion and new forms of relating in regard to human encounters with nature. The example of an endangered weevil, Limobius mixtus, is put forward to argue that the loss of biodiversity results in the diminishment of God. Emmanuel Levinas’ use of the image of ‘the face’ that comes from ‘height’, Martin Buber’s philosophy of ‘I and Thou’ and feminist theological writing on the breakdown of relationship are all employed in the weaving of a theological tapestry. Sin is defined as the failure to observe one of the ‘least’, such as the weevil. Our motives in desiring repaired relationships with nature are additionally scrutinised. It is suggested that to be creative, compassionate and to desire right relationships with nature promote a dynamic which ultimately preserves the life of God.

    Exploring Liebniz's Kingdoms : A Philosophical Analysis of Nature and Grace
    Equinox Publishing ; 2002
    In:  Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture ( 2002-08-06), p. 126-145
    Details
    In: Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, Equinox Publishing, ( 2002-08-06), p. 126-145
    Abstract: The paper identifies two natural kingdoms: one physical, ruled by the laws of efficient causation; the other non-physical, governed by laws of final causation. Living creatures combine both physical and mental characteristics and thereby belong to both natural kingdoms, ensuring that all events are explicable in terms of either set of laws. Distinguishing self-conscious minds from other souls, Leibniz also differentiates the kingdoms of Nature and Grace. Investigating the relations among the various kingdoms, it is found that the relation of mutual dependence between souls and their bodies in the two natural kingdoms mirrors a similar relation of mutual dependence at the level of Nature and Grace generally. Leibniz’s view also implies that the kingdom of Grace exists within the natural kingdom governed by final causation. Finally, it is suggested that we should reject Leibniz’s view that only some creatures are destined to enter the kingdom of Grace. My aim is not to fill shops with futile books, written in the air, but where possible to provide something of use (Leibniz to Duke John Ferdinand of Hanover, Nov. 1671: GE I, 274. Cited in Jordan 1927: 38).

    Sacred Places in the Construction of Indigenous Environmentalism
    Equinox Publishing ; 2002

    In: Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, Equinox Publishing, ( 2002-03-07), p. 60-73
    Abstract: Indigenous people have often been linked with ‘nature’. Recently this has been complimentary, based on the assessment that nature is good, but this was not always the case. This paper is interested in the construction of indigeneity as environmentalist, and in the construction of environmentalism with reference to indigeneity. It is particularly concerned with challenging various relevant Western notions from the perspective that indigenous religious traditions might offer quite different ontologies and engagements. It takes note of the wider context of a conflict between colonialism and sovereignty which entangle these issues in traumatic crises but also underpin significant possibilities for change.

    'Great Shamans and Great Teachers' : Animals as Guides to Truth in Religious Texts

    Abstract: Animals in the role of guides and messengers are found in the texts (artistic, ritual, mythological and written) of many traditions, with the significance of the animals’ presence going beyond the merely aesthetic or fanciful. The animal-related shamanic practice of hunter-gatherer cultures has influenced later world religions. Written texts can be divided into the mystical, concerning experience; the philosophical, concerning ideas; the devotional, concerning sacred places and utterances; and the ethical. Two important narratives provide examples of zoophilic ethical principles supporting ontological claims.

    Nature's Cathedral : The Union of Theology and Ecology in the Writings of John Muir

    Abstract: John Muir has strongly impacted the environmental movement since he penned his works during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While the Scottish-born naturalist is well-known for his rugged individualism, the driving force behind his thought and efforts was his connection with the Divine. Muir inherited a seeking soul from his devoutly Reformist father, Daniel. The younger Muir, however, would end his principal inspiration in the gospel of nature. A foray into industry convinced Muir that the stain of civilization blinds us to this original scripture. Muir spoke of a distinct correlation between humanity’s spiritual ills and the destruction of the natural world, and suggested an extension of the Christian ethic to all creatures. In his various travelogues, he offers an illuminating vision of the God of nature, and humanity’s position in relation to both Creator and creation.

    'If You Go Down to the Woods Today...' : Spirituality and the Eco-Protest Lifestyle
    Equinox Publishing ; 2002

    Abstract: Emerging from the anti-road protests which marked the 1990s, Eco-Paganism is a collective term for the diverse set of de-traditionalised, but Pagan-like, spiritualities found within road-protest culture. Whilst the actions, and direct-action, of protesters may not always appear outwardly to be religious, many protesters are motivated by their religious convictions such as the paramount belief in the sanctity of nature. The protest lifestyle, involving an immersion in nature through living outdoors and sleeping in treehouses, reinforces these convictions. These sentiments, and the anguish felt by practitioners as they engage in environmental struggle, find expression through spontaneous rituals. This article provides an overview of the protest lifestyle, suggesting ways in which it informs Eco-Pagan religiosity. An example of a typical ad-hoc religious ritual is provided.

    Women and Ecology Wholeness Farm : A Progress Report

    Abstract: Six years ago the Institute of Women’s Studies decided to buy a farm to use as an extension seminar house. The objectives of this project were: 1. To develop a bio-diverse sustainable farm that will illustrate ecology friendly farming. 2. To offer courses about women and ecology so as to instil the importance of the care and preservation of the environment and to impart strategies of doing so. This was originally planned in partnership with Amihan, a national women’s peasant organization, that was supposed to use the farm for its income-generating activity of diverse farming. This organization assigned a farmer family to live on the farm. After a year of partnership, Amihan felt it had other priorities and it allowed the farmer family to stay on at the farm as the employee of the Institute of Women’s Studies.
