The Christian Faith and the Ecological Crisis

Author: Alvin Pitcher
Publisher: Chelan, WA:  Holden Village, 1991

While on a nine month sabbatical at Holden Village, Alvin Pitcher, studied the environmental issues of the late 1980s.  The writings contained in "The Christian Faith and the Ecological Crisis" represent his personal journey, always oriented toward making up his mind about what the issues are and what might be done about them by an ordinary lay member of a church or any ordinary citizen.  While the writings are heavily influence by his own Christian convictions and by definite intellectual decisions about economic and political theory and practice, they are meant to address a broad audience who might not share some of these convictions.
