Active Love and Anthropocene Angst

As we continue our monthly theme of salvation, it seems appropriate on this Sunday after Earth Day that we reflect on what is involved in saving our planet.  Our presenter, JD Stillwater, calls himself a “science ambassador” who has devoted his career to exploring the relationships between science and spirituality. In this presentation, he raises some important questions. “Are we a cancer on the biosphere, a plague? Would it be better if we had remained blissfully in the stone age? Guilt about environmental destruction won’t help build a sustainable society, but active love might, the kind of love we have for our teenagers when they’re especially annoying.” Stillwater somehow relates all of this to romantic relationships, beautiful sunsets, and Joni Mitchell.
