Earth, Religion and the Sacred: Can the World's Religions Learn to Live With Ecological Integrity? With Rupert Sheldrake

Download this episode ( 60 min )  
Although traditional religions have often been concerned with the human community and it relationship  to the environment, none of them has confronted the threat and scale of the global ecological crisis we are now facing. There have been a number of initiatives taken by religious groups and others to explore the response that religious communities can make. All this is encouraging. But how can these initiatives become more effective, and what part can they play in a practical Gaian approach to today’s environmental and social challenges? 

Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and the author of more than 75 technical papers and nine books. He studied natural sciences at Cambridge and philosophy at Harvard, where he was a Frank Knox Fellow. Rupert Sheldrake is currently a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, San Francisco.

Hosted by The Gaia Foundation and Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel, Tuesday, 26th June 2007.
