Is #Theologidons a hashtag folks are using? I found a list of #theologians on #mastodon that used that word. (This is Paul's daughter still searching for more people for "him" to follow!) #Ecology #Ethics #Christianity #Lutheran (ELCA) #CosmicChrist #HistoricalTheology #SystematicTheology #PracticalTheology #Ecojustice #CareForCreation #CaringForCreation #HarvardDivinity #WellesleyCollege #LutheransRestoringCreation #Religidons

An #introduction.

I have been an advocate in the field of ecological theology since I published my first book, Brother Earth: Nature, God, and Ecology in a Time of Crisis (1970). I wrote about the gendered title here: https://hpaulsantmire.net/earth-day-fifty-parochial-ruminations/

Here on #Mastodon I hope to share thoughts too short for a full essay, chapter, or blog post. My interests include #Ecojustice #Ecology #Lutherans (ELCA) #Ethics #CaringForCreation #ClimateCrisis among many other topics. Also: #Religidons

Earth
Crying out
In pain again

Wondering
What more
Can nature do

Begging
"Hey Humanity
Don't you care?"

Knowing
Earth soon
Won't sustain us

Love
Sometimes ends
Before it's time

Loving the planet
Takes uncomfortable action
Words aren't enough now

...

Listening to leaders from the Global South today at #cop27 was another stark reminder that action is needed now! In fact it was needed a decade ago.
