| Sumario: | Ayres reminds religious educators that ecological religious education is not entirely new, nor is it something that must be created from scratch; instead, ecological religious education is already embedded in our communities and in ourselves. Her book offers religious educators, especially Christian religious educators, an ecological approach to theology, ecclesiology, and practice. By naming human beings as "habitants" or "ecological beings", Ayres urges readers to dislocate from their anthropocentric identity and relocate as "just, loving, and responsible members of a vulnerable and sacred household" within ecological inhabitance (5). |
