John Grimm, and his spouse Mary Evelyn Tucker, are co-founders of the Yale Forum on Ecology and Religion. Previously they also organized a series of conferences at Harvard University, resulting in a multi-volume series on Religions and Ecology.
Contents:
- The conversation begins with John describing the process he and Mary Evelyn used to create the multi-volume collection of essays examining the relationship between Ecology and various religions and spiritualities. John explains the process of retrieval🡪 re-evaluation 🡪 re-construction that various authors adopted in their examination of how sacred texts could contribute meaningfully to healing the environment.
- John provides background on the founding of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. Then, he discusses the many resources available on the Yale Forum’s websites.
- John and Richard also discuss the emergence of “eco-anxiety” and “eco-grief.” John shares how Yale Divinity School has begun offering its students instruction on providing pastoral care for those suffering from eco-anxiety and eco-grief.
