The increasing awareness of environmental issues as ultimately
moral issues has led to the intersection of religion and
environment. Sacramental Commons presents a unique way of looking
at this topic by relating the Christian word 'sacrament' (signs of
divine presence) to the term 'commons' (shared place and shared
goods, among people and between people and the natural world),
suggesting that local natural settings and local communities can be
a source for respect and compassion. Sacramental Commons uses
Earth-oriented biblical teachings, and ideas from such thinkers as
Hildegard, St. Francis, John Muir, and Black Elk, to provide
insights about divine immanence in creation, human commitments to
creation, and human accountability to the Spirit, Earth, and biotic
community. It extends the concept of 'natural rights' beyond humans
to include all nature, and affirms intrinsic value in ecosystems in
whole and in part. Sacramental Commons declares that the Earth
commons and its goods should be shared equitably by human
communities and individuals living in interdependent relationships
with other members of the community of life. It suggests essential
values that will stimulate care for the commons, and embodies them
in principles of an innovative Christian Ecological Ethics.
