Sacramental Commons: Christian Ecological Ethics » (1st Edition)

The increasing awareness of environmental issues as ultimately moral issues has led to the intersection of religion and environment. Sacramental Commons presents a unique way of looking at this topic by relating the Christian word _sacrament_ (signs of divine presence) to the term _commons_ (shared place and shared goods, among people and between people and the natural world), suggesting that local natural settings and local communities can be a source for respect and compassion.
