In an article titled “Our Indivisible Environment: If life is sacred, so is the entire web that sustains it,” the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew connects the dots between science, the human heart and faith. On the heals of last week’s eighth ecological symposium on the Mississippi, the Green Patriarch proves that no silos need exist for us to achieve success in maintaining and bettering human civilization as we now know it:
…if life is sacred, so is the entire web that sustains it. Some of those connections—the effects of overharvesting on the fish populations of the North Atlantic, for example—we understand very well. Others, such as the long-term health impacts of industrialization, we understand less well. But no one doubts that there is a connection and balance among all things animate and inanimate on this third planet from the Sun, and that there is a cost or benefit whenever we tamper with that balance.
Patriarch Bartholomew goes on to state that it would be a mistake to treat human impact on the environment simply as a political issue noting a “spiritual dimension offers a huge additional lever that can be used to motivate our brothers and sisters around the world to take action on this critical issue.”
