Abstract

In a time when climate change and other ecological disturbances wreak havoc upon both human and natural “households,” how can the people of God respond beyond anger and acedia, or sloth? Easy as it is to be paralyzed by the magnitude of the problems, and tempting as it is to resort to anger and blame, could we follow the prodigal son in “returning to ourselves” and being restored to our rightful place in the household of God? The authors’ experiences with the River of Life Pilgrimage and Church of the Woods provide concrete examples of how the human members of the Body of Christ can be restored to kinship with our non-human sisters and brothers in Christ through immersion, song, praise, and sharing of bread and wine.
