"With world-class liturgical scholars offering creative, tradition-steeped essays on the ecological imaginaries made and possible in practices of worship, this is a milestone volume."Willis Jenkins, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Virginia "Once again, the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale and Liturgical Press have provided us with a rich ecumenical collection of essays drawn from an important colloquium, this one about the manifold ways Christian liturgy locates us on our wounded planet and shapes our understanding of the cosmos. Many of the essays here will become classics, worthy of repeated reference-those on Daniel 3, on bread, on Laudato Sii, on environmental care in Eastern Orthodoxy, and on `dust wisdom,' among many other examples. But the magisterial introduction by Teresa Berger, outlining the roots and the sweep of this urgent topic, is itself an important reason to read the book."Gordon W. Lathrop, Author of Holy Ground: A Liturgical Cosmology, Past-President, Societas Liturgica "Berger's introduction is masterful in situating the conference theme within the growing interdisciplinary ecclesial concern for the environment. Her editing is rigorous, with each essay well footnoted, and the book concludes with a subject index that includes biblical references. Recommended to seminary libraries." Catholic Library World "The essays comprising this book provide rich fare for all who see environmental degradation as an issue for faith, theology, and worship." Worship "Teresa Berger's editorial achievement in so skillfully arranging the collection is a work of creation in its own right. Especially in the context of covid-19, when touch, contact, materiality, relationships with our environment and worship itself have been radically disrupted, these timely essays provide rich subject matter for new and important conversations." Modern Believing "This coherent collection will be of interest to liturgical historians, clergy, theologians and musicians seeking historical, theological, and practical resources to develop liturgies that help Christians become aware of the theological grounding for their role in relating to and caring for the natural world."
