Description: One important aspect of this booklet relates to the way present-day environmentalists describe the development of their spiritual consciousness. This booklet shows how Christianity reminds us that the Earth is bounteous but not infinite; that humanity is only a part of creation; that Earth's bounty is there to be shared by all of us and that it is our duty to defend both it and the rights of those who are deprived of a fair share in its riches. (Adapted from Foreword).
