77. Cultivating a Deep Green Faith, with Jerry Cappel and Collin Cornell

In this episode Forrest talks with Jerry Cappel and Collin Cornell from the Center for Deep Green Faith. Their work is grounded in the belief that the global problems of environmental degradation, climate change, violence, and injustice, are rooted in a crisis of spirit and of faith. The Center for Deep Green Faith then aims to help individuals and communities to  cultivate a more environmentally aware, ecologically grounded spirituality and faith praxis.
