52 1-0io3 Church Directory Deep ecology, says Drengson, resonates with process philosophy, a school of thought based on the insights of two late philosophers, Harvard University's Alfred North Whitehead and Teilhard de Chardin. Rev. Thomas Berry, a 74-year-old Catholic monk and eco-theologian, ranks as one of the most high-profile of numerous Christians who have picked up on process thought. Berry wrote The Dream of the Earth, the first volume in the Sierra Club's new series on nature and natural philosophy. "From its beginning in the galactic system to its earthly expression in human consciousness, the universe carries within itself a psychic as well as a physical dimension," Berry says.

"The same atoms that formed the galaxies are in me." Catholic author Matthew Fox also stresses in his book, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, the importance of reviving mystical traditions that re-connect humans with their bodies and the natural world. Fox's "creation-centred" spirituality tempers the Catholic notion that humans exist in a state of "original sin," says Drengson. Asilenced in December by the Vatican for his views, Fox has developed a theology based on the notion of "original blessing." The most prominent Protestant process theologian, American John Cobb, writes in his book, Is It Too that humans must begin realizing the world is "pan-experiential" everything from atoms to humans feel and have the potential to respond to the lure of God, although to different degrees. "Nobody has the absolute right to chop down a tree and take another life. But there are times when it's necessary," says Rev.

George Hcrmanson, a United Church minister who studied with Cobb and now runs the church's Five Oaks lay-training centre in Paris, Ontario. "Trees can contribute to a greater good when they are used for housing, for example," says Hermanson. "But we also have to respect trees for themselves. God calls us to live in harmony with one another and our environment. There's an ethical decision involved every time we cut down a tree; the robbery of a tree's life demands justification." Tiiifc the flowers growing in the fields; they never have to work or spin.

Yet I assure you that not even Solomon in all his regalia was robed like one of these. Jesus Matthew 6:26 By DOl'GLAS TODD Sun Religion Reporter AMID SIGNS of impending environmental crisis, scholars are digging through philosophical and spiritual traditions for a theology of ecology that will guide those concerned about the earth's fate. Deep ecology, which has been gaining prominence in recent years, explores Taoism, native spirituality, modern philosophers and even the Bible for wisdom that will help humans live in harmony with nature, says University of Victoria philosophy of religion professor Alan Drengson. Judaism and Christianity have long been blamed for encouraging environmental destruction because of God's injunction to humans in Genesis to "subdue" the earth. But Drengson, who edits the deep ecology quarterly The Trumpeter, says Christianity also includes a theological thread that can speak to environmentalists.

"I feel quite comfortable with Christianity and the New Testament," says Drengson, 54. "Jesus's sermons are just filled with references to the natural world and its mystical glory." Deep ecology postulates that nature has value in itself. The position opposes what Drengson calls "shallow" ecology the view that the environment has worth only because it can satisfy human needs. A strong theme running through deep ecology, says Drengson (who was raised in a Christian household but no longer attends church), is that humans "need to attune themselves to the organic process of the world, which is a spiritual process Some people think deep ecology is a rival to Christianity but it's not. It's a rival only to certain interpretations of Christianity." Drengson and many Christian theologians criticize those Christians who ignore God's work in the natural world while remaining preoccupied with gaining personal salvation, which will transport them beyond this earthly realm.
