Savoring the Sacred: Cultivating Spiritual and Ethical Dispositions to Address the Climate Crisis through a Eucharistic Rule of Life
Religious Education, v119 n5 p363-371 2024
The ecological crisis threatens to overwhelm people to the point of inaction. This disconnection requires a spirituality of interdependence that motivates social change for the long term. Through theological reflection, ethical analysis, and an example of community practices, this paper shows how a rule of life focused on eucharistic eating cultivates habits of gratitude, mindfulness, and generosity to contribute to a more just food system. This framework--applicable in classrooms, churches, and communities--responds to the overwhelm of the climate crisis with a loving attention to daily habits.
