| The author proposes that contemporary Christians can build an ecological church that holds the whole creation at its moral center by drawing on methods of biblical wisdom literature. By observation of the relationships of the cosmos and the human place in it, by creative listening to the traditions of scripture and theology, and by encouraging experiences of God based on ecological metaphors and models in worship, education and practices of ministry, communities of faith can widen the horizons of varied theological worlds to encompass the whole of God's creation, resulting in wise living at a time of ecological crisis. |
