description: A green spirituality? A religious ecology? Are we to heal our hearts at the same time that we heal our planet? In this book ecologists and spiritual practitioners will find their common ground. Dom Helder Camara, a Brazilian bishop and former archbishop who is famous all over the world for his ceaseless work for the poor and his efforts to promote social justice, puts forward a series of beautiful reflections on the role of human beings as co-creators of the universe. He writes with the simplicity of one who is deeply spiritual and his reflections take his readers through an examination of the failures of the human condition in and of itself to a discovery of the wonder and the value of God's creations. This book challenges us to take our place in the world and to enter with humility into the School of God and the School of the Universe.
