Abstract

The early Christian Church Fathers wrote that man is an indispensable element in the triangle: God–man–nature. Since energy is part of the natural world, its role in the social economy should be subject to moral law. Today the Christian Church is especially insistent in calling upon mankind to turn to the experience and legacy of the Church in facing up to world problems. Christian monasticism, in which material values are rejected in favour of simplicity and harmony with nature, provides an example of how human society as a whole should reject wastefulness and self–indulgence. The Church urges us not to yield to fatalism when confronted with global problems, but to live and act with hope.
