"Spirituality & Ecological Hope is an exploration of the spiritual meaning of the ecological crisis that now faces our precious Earth. We do this from the vantage point of a consumer-oriented post-industrial society where the changes required to save humanity from disaster are particularly profound... To save the fabric of life on this Earth, to keep it from unraveling, we need to begin this work now.... Your tax-deductible donations are appreciated!" Spirituality & Ecological Hope, a project of the Center for New Creation.
