The Good Fire: Theology of Stewardship & Controlled Burning (with Peter Hess)


Listen Later

Peter Hess (Ph.D, FFT2) is a theologian, an environmental scientist, a wildland fire practitioner, and firefighter type two. I ask Peter about this work which is a collaboration of firefighters and indigenous communities, about the Catholic Theology, stewardship of the Earth, and Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudatus Si’.

  • Peter Hess’s webpage at “Climate Abandoned.”
  • Peter Hess’s bookCatholicism and Science (Greenwood, 2008).
  • Laudatus Si’Pope Francis’s encyclical letter (2015).
  • TERA website, the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance.
  • ‘Firefighter Type 2’ explained at the National Wildfire Coordinating Group.
