A Lea Funeral Home Service (919) 231-1000 www.leafuneralhome.com Nash, 70, wrote text linking earth, ethics THE BOSTON GLOBE Combining his deep love of the outdoors and his commitment to Christianity, James A.

Nash published a book 17 years ago that became a powerful text in the emerging field of ecotheology as he placed environmental ethics within a spiritual context. "In our time, particularly, the meaning of sin must be properly extended to cover ecological misdeeds, and the human condition underlying them," he wrote in "Loving Nature: Ecological Integrity and Christian Responsibility," which came out in 1991. "The ecological crisis and the host of actions contributing to that crisis are best understood in the context of sin. Sin literally defiles the land." Nash, who spent 21 years working for the Massachusetts Council of Churches, most of that time as executive director, died in his Burlington home Wednesday of acute myelogenous leukemia. He was 70.
