The Parish as Oasis is a practical and accessible introduction to
how local churches can contribute to the healing the environmental
crisis. A notable feature of this book is that it does not engage
with that crisis. “Climate change” can be a contentious
cultural issue. And “climate despair” can be a pressing
pastoral issue. By focusing on practical and accessible
“experiments” that any parish can explore according to their
own context and capacities, this book seeks to equip people with a
hands-on understanding of the ideas unpacked in Laudato Si’. It
is a book that aspires to inspire congregations to get their hands
dirty, but it also plants those initiatives within a coherent
eco-theology and re-locates how we think about faith and the role
of church to the margins, serving as an oasis in those parts of our
society that are parched and denuded.
It consists of
three parts: an introductory essay that situates the theological
vision of the book, a practical array of experiments that
congregations can undertake to care for our common home, and a
conclusion pointing people to further resources. While being
intellectually rigorous, it is written in an accessible,
non-technical fashion. The practical experiments draw on real-world
examples, including interviews, to give each of these sections an
easy magazine-like feel.
