in my ongoing concern for eco-spirituality amidst our machine- and efficiency-obesessed age, i wrote up a brief intro to the recent message from the bishops’ conferences of asia, africa, latin america, and the carribean calling out the need for real action at/from cop 30 later this year.

they really go for it, using words like “degrowth” and “colonial extractivism” and call out the financialization of the natural world and call for “alternatives to the capitalist model.” it’s important stuff that i pray regularly we folks in the global north will start taking seriously.

for what it’s worth.

also, a happy st. aethelwold’s day tomorrow to one and all!
