The author calls upon the world's religions to assist in combating
the destructive trends of our time, mobilizing a virtual "alliance
of religion and ecology" against unlimited economic growth, rampant
consumption, and unrestrained globalisation. World religions have
begun to move from a preoccupation with God-human relations and
human-human relations to encompass human-earth relations. They are
now entering their planetary or (Gaian) phase. In its new alliance
with ecology, religion should move from isolated orthodoxy to
interrelated dialogue, revivify its rituals and symbols in light of
environmental crisis, align its moral authority with liberation
rather than oppression, favour a this-worldly rather that
other-worldly soteriology, and advance from anthropocentric to
anthropocosmic ethics.
