| Summary: | 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.

This framework—applicable in classrooms, churches, and communities—responds to the overwhelm of the climate crisis with a loving attention to daily habits. |
