RELIGION AND ECOLOGY

One of the sources I have read for my workshop on Ecology and the Environment:
CHRIST AND FALL MIGRATION
Saturday, Oct 4th
Time: 10am---3pm
Where:Mt. St Alphonsus Pastoral Center, Esopus, NY
Phone: 845-384-8052
is Mary Evelyn Tucker and her John Grim from Yale. They show how the different religious groups, for instance myself and other Roman Catholics are "coming alive in our love and desire to connect with the whole living environment"
Please enjoy this YouTube video which is "right down the alley" that I will walk with you this Saturday here at THE MOUNT.

FACING "INCONVENIENT TRUTHS..OUR EARTH

I have been putting the "finishing touches" on my workshop on CHRIST AND FALL MIGRATION for this coming:
Saturday
Oct 24th
9am--4pm
Mt. St. Alphonsus Retreat
845-384-8000
I will be a good workshop that challenges me and you to have, as Thomas Berry always said: "a mutually enhancing with all people and life systems of our earth"
I have been selecting YouTube videos that reflect what I will share with you who come next Saturday. I like this one because it actually shows a tearful Jesus Christ looking upon what have been the "short term" and what will be the "long range effects" of global warming upon the earth: the suffering it has caused and WILL cause if not combatted bringing pain and sadness to God' s earth. (The sequences are from Al Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth".)
