Rebecca Solnit
“Twenty years ago, I began to speak directly about hope and to what impeded it for so many people: “I say all this to you because hope is not like a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. I say this because hope is an ax you break down doors with in an emergency.” I wrote during a surge of neoliberal attacks on indigenous people, nature, small farmers, and labor, during the so-called Global War on Terror”
Rebecca Solnit, Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility

“We are in trouble because we do not have a good story,” Catholic priest and evolutionary theologian Thomas Berry often said. “We are between stories. The old story is no longer effective. Yet we have not learned ‘the new story.’ We are talking only to ourselves. We are not talking to the rivers, we are not listening to the wind and stars. We have broken the great conversation. By breaking that conversation we have shattered the universe.”
Victoria Loorz, Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred

“And that’s what we did. After twenty years as a pastor of traditional indoor churches, I walked out the chapel doors and into the sanctuary of the oak trees.”
Victoria Loorz, Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred

“The Great Work is spiritual at the core. Gus Speth, an environmental attorney, ecologist, and climate advocate, has summarized the problem brilliantly: “I used to think that top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. . . . But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that.”
Victoria Loorz, Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred

“Reading from the “first book of God”—which is what the ancients called nature—the liturgies would include the whole world, not just humans. And instead of sermons from one preacher, we would learn how to enter into conversation with the living world.”
Victoria Loorz, Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred
