Description: "Cosmic Grace, Humble Prayer presents for the first time the powerful ecological vision of Patriarch Bartholomew, drawing together a comprehensive collection of his church statements and occasional addresses, some available in English only here. Editor John Chryssavgis has organized these pieces chronologically and thematically, highlighting particular points of interest and importance. In addition, he provides a substantial historical and theological introduction to the initiatives and writings of Patriarch Bartholomew that also invites readers into the unparalleled environmental perspective of the Orthodox Church." "At a time of deepening ecological concern, Cosmic Grace, Humble Prayer is a living testimony and remarkable witness to what one leader and one church have done - and what all Christians can do - to foster faithful stewardship of our God-given world."--BOOK JACKET.
