Vincent Rossi, "Sacred Cosmology in the Christian Tradition" (The Ecologist, Jan, 2000). People today rightly sense and desire that religion be a real force once again in providing the ethical and spiritual energy for the critical task of reversing the degradation of the Earth. A sense of ‘embeddedness’ in Creation was a very real dimension of the experience of the Church in the patristic era. Both east and west, he Church transmitted a fully ‘cosmic’ faith. Rossi's article is a good introduction to some of the resources, but one might wish it went into a little more detail about the nature of liturgy; for those not already familiar with what he's talking about, the latter half of the article might be a little abstract. Nonetheless, recommendable.
