Abstract
Much Orthodox writing on ecology grounds care for the environment in the sacramental and liturgical ethos of Orthodox theology. This article reviews the various proposals for deriving ecological thinking from Orthodox liturgy and suggests that many of the arguments made do not hold up under critical examination. Patristic texts cannot be applied as clearly to contemporary issues as is often thought and liturgical practices do not lend themselves as easily to concrete ethical proposals as may appear. Deeper thinking about the implications of an Orthodox sacramental and liturgical worldview is required—and not just for environmental reasons.
