Ecological Spirituality (Ecology & Justice Series)

The changes that we must make to address the complex ecological crises today are unlikely to happen if we do not experience a spiritual revolution. In Ecological Spirituality, Diarmuid O’Murchu invites readers to the revolutionary work of a life-promoting spirituality for our time. He explores how we must move beyond understandings of holiness that emphasize detachment from our world in favor of something beyond.

In his welcoming style O’Murchu reintroduces readers to the long history of humanity’s relationship with the creative Spirit of God, including and transcending religious traditions in a growing horizon of faith. As we rediscover the sacred here on Earth, we are called to connect spirit with Spirit, discerning and living an ecologically-focused spirituality for the well-being of creatures and ecosystems around the planet.

Diarmuid O'Murchu, a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order and a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin Ireland, is a social psychologist and author. Most of his working life has been in social ministry, including as a couple's counsellor, in bereavement and AIDS-HIV counselling, and with  homeless people and refugees. He has led workshops throughout Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, India, and in several African countries. His best known books include Quantum Theology (The Crossroad Publishing Company), Paschal Paradox (Franciscan Media) and Evolutionary Faith (Orbis).
