We, as humans, are beginning to re-envision ourselves as part of this glorious creation, a member of an Earth community, at the same moment as Earth is entering a severe ecological crisis. This growing crisis leads more and more people to cry out in agony (cf. Psalm 103/104:29 and Rom 8/19-20). This paper call seeks to engage theology, ethics and philosophical reflections on key socio-ecological concerns from a variety of religious traditions and perspectives. The emphasis is on theological, philosophical and ethical implications of contributing to a shift of paradigms in progressing towards sustainable ecological future.
The EUARE- ECOTHEE 2024 is the following sequence of the 7th International Conference on Ecological Theology and Environmental Ethics (ECOTHEE 22), which was organised under the auspices of the World Council of Churches and His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I from 26 to 29 October 2022 at the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC) in Kolympari, Crete. The conference was the result of collaboration between the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC) through the academic collaborator between the Institute of Theology and Ecology (ITHE) at the OAC and the eco-justice diakonia department at the WCC.
