The best description of my spiritual inclination is what folks call , or similarly, . I've been journaling and thinking about it a lot, and I have been considering doing the universal life thing and officiating life events under the natural pantheism worldview, except I think the guy who has done a lot of the book writing about it recently feels possessive of the name. But I don't think it's trademarked. Still thinking about it.

When I published my first book in 1970, Brother Earth, I was one of a very few who were interested in this field. Things have changed, dramatically. More than fifty years later, hundreds of works have been published in English alone, more than a few of them insightful and substantive. In my judgment, ours has become the golden age of ecological theology. But what to read, given so many options?

I wrote about some of my favorites here: hpaulsantmire.net/what-ecotheo

Reading one of my favorite theological texts with the Ecological Theologies class — Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. It’s definitely nature writing, but once you start looking for the theology, it’s everywhere and it’s really profound stuff.

Brian Drayton has shared a reflective essay/sermon on lessons from the East Palestine, Ohio, derailment. It goes straight to the gut. Best piece of , indeed, that I have had the chance to read in quite a while. amorvincat.wordpress.com/2023/

Historically, Christianity emphasized humanity's role as creation keepers drawing a strong frontier between the humans and the rest of the creation. It *is* biblical, and meaningful in a context when nature were merely a danger for us.

But our context is very different. Now, *we* are the hazard. That change the way we read these texts. We should now emphasize that they describe us as a part of the creation. We have a special place, but *within*, not *outside*.

My daughter told me she is listening to the audiobook version of my EcoActivist Testament. We are preparing to upload it to bookshop.org and audible with the help of our publisher (Cascade/Wipf&Stock).

We hope this format will make my latest -- and last -- book accessible to more people.

Here is some info about the book: hpaulsantmire.net/books/ecoact
