Taken as a whole, this issue presents a kaleidoscopic “view” of the emergence of recognizing the sacredness of God’s Creation in our time, and its call to us as we move into the future. We honor the finalists in Earth Ministry’s first Celebration of St. Francis Creation Care Sermon Contest and present the sermons from the two winners. Jessie Dye gives a summary of the legislative priorities for 2009, Joan Chittister writes on the riches of interfaith experiences, and Cormac Cullinan discusses legal rights for nature.
