Rooted and Rising is for everyone who worries about the climate crisis
and seeks spiritual practices and perspectives to renew their capacity
for compassionate, purposeful, and joyful action. Leah Schade and
Margaret Bullitt-Jonas gather twenty-one faith leaders, scientists,
community organizers, theologians, and grassroots climate activists to
offer wisdom for fellow pilgrims grappling with the weight of climate
change. Acknowledging the unprecedented nature of our
predicament—the fact that climate disruption is unraveling the web
of life and threatening the end of human civilization—the authors
share their stories of grief and hope, fear and faith. Together, the
essays, introductory sections, and discussion questions reveal that
our present crisis can elicit a depth of wisdom, insight, and
motivation with power to guide us toward a more peaceful, just, and
Earth-honoring future. With a foreword by Mary Evelyn Tucker and a
special introduction by Bill McKibben, the book presents an interfaith
perspective that welcomes and challenges readers of all backgrounds.
