Aside from the paper for a conference due in mid-Dec…I have a list of things I want to write.

#Ecotheology on economic and political change
#Ecotheology on resilience and spiritual strength
— review & method of prophetic poetry
— citizen ecology science manual

Having to choose among #Druidry #UU #Academia is rough. 😝

I both dislike that it’s warm and sunny and a good day for yard work during the end of November

…and am grateful for a little more time to get things done.

Small good things in the midst of big bad things seems like an important example/text to hold on to these days while trying to make meaning of many things.

Finis and Telos: My Just-Out Earth Book in the Age of Trump

When my two kids were in their grammar school years, each of them would sometimes say, “Daddy, you talk funny.” True. I still do. Consider this. My new book is the end – the finis and the telos – of my vocation as a Church theologian and pastoral activist...

I’ve been thinking about authoritarianism & fascism from an #ecotheology perspective: how animal communities remove bad leaders from power…and what ecological succession might tell us about how political and economic systems lay the groundwork for their own failing and the next system’s rise. 🤔

Entering into my 90th year — I will be 89 at the end of this month — I'm pleased to share that my final book has been published. "The Earth and the Fullness Thereof: A Down-home Reader in Ecological Theology"

The Earth and the Fullness Thereof: A Down-Home Reader in Ecological Theology

Written for those at the front lines of discipleship in this era of planetary emergency, especially for those who sometimes feel spiritually isolated or exhausted. This engaging first-person narrative will appeal both to faith-based ecoactivist of long standing and to those who are pondering this calling for the first time.

What does watching a family of bears playing on a mulch pile tell us about love and theology? More than you might guess!

I'm always glad when I get to bring all of myself into my work: #ecotheology #Druidry #UnitarianUniversalist

I'm excited to share that a book chapter of mine, "We Call These Things Love," has been reprinted in the fall issue of the Unitarian Universalist Association's magazine, UU World. You can find it in hard copy or online, too!
