About the Environmental Justice Program
The Environmental Justice Program
seeks to apply Catholic social teaching to ecological and environmental
concerns by working with Catholic universities and scholars to
stimulate theological research and an exchange of ideas. Papers
from prior consultations have been assembled into a reader entitled,
And Good Saw That It Was Good: Catholic Theology and the Environment,
(order
this book). This reader continues to be used by universities,
seminaries and others.
Six scholars’ consultations have been held since 1994:
- The Person, the Poor and the Common Good: A Catholic Dialogue on the Environment
- Ethical Implications of Economic Growth: Job Creation and
Environmental Safeguards
- Ecology and Catholic Theology: Contribution and Challenge
- Ecology and the Common Good: A Catholic Theological Perspective
- Creation as God’s Song: Catholic Imagination and the
Environment
- Linking Environmental Studies, Theology and Science
