“Earth, with all its creatures, is in crisis.” —from the Foreword by Denis Edwards Combining good science with solid theology and practical applications, this book displays the genius of the Franciscan tradition in confronting today’s environmental crisis. The authors show how a contemporary Franciscan spirituality of creation, following the footprints of Jesus with the guidance of St. Francis of Assisi, can help renew the face of the earth in our own time. Care for Creation includes steps for individuals and churches can take to reduce their impact on the environment.
