Series Overview:
The Earth is our common home in which we live out our lives in relationship with one another, the natural world, and God. Pope Francis calls for a “broader vision of reality” to address the single complex social and ecological crisis of our day. This vision requires an integral ecology that recognizes that we are not separated from the ecological world but are integral participants in the ecosystem. Our distinctly human activity—social, economic, cultural, and spiritual—is integrally connected with the natural world. Everything in life is interconnected. This lecture series will develop the “broader vision of reality” needed to respond to the social-ecological crisis by analyzing who we are, how we live, and what impacts we have within the context of being interconnected with the human family and natural world within our local ecological home in the Great Lakes watershed.
