Grey’s understanding of Christian faith and the natural world is one of the most holistic I have ever heard. She is provocative, engaging and hopeful about the hurting planet we call home. For instance she says that what we purchase in the supermarket is casting a vote for the kind of world we want to live in. Ouch! We often pray the words, “Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.” When it comes to confession about our care of the earth, there is much that we have done to harm and much that we have left undone to care and preserve. May Carmody Grey inspire some small and lasting change in all of us this Earth Day for the sake of the next seven generations.
Happy Earth Day! Here is a small gift to help you celebrate. We recently came across this brilliant young British theologian, Carmody Grey, in an interview with Dr. Jason Byasee of ARocha, called Theology at Street Level. What this 45-minute Q & A is lacking in technical savvy and artistic presentation is made up for by this delightful young woman, her keen understanding of how we live in the world and might well be the best 45 minutes of your Earth Day Celebration.
