Reflections on ecological issues inevitable raise religious questions as well. Christianity must keep ecological issues closely tied to those of social justice – a necessity for a sustainable society. Christianity can also make clear the need for individual change of heart (conversion) that is a prerequisite to real social and economic change.
Christian theology opposes both injustice and ruthless exploitation of the earth, but that is not enough. As Christians we are called to lead in envisioning a more livable world.
