Green Saints for a Green Generation

Green Saints for a Green Generation

Edited by by Libby Osgood. A collection young scientists, sisters, and theologians of the “green generation” who reflect on “saints” who offer hope and inspire us towards ecological action. The writers include a wide range of figures, from the traditional, such as Sts. Clare of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, and Marguerite Bourgeoys, to contemporary figures like Thomas Merton, author Toni Morrison, and the Martyrs of the Amazon. By connecting these key figures to environmental responsibility, the contributors encourage readers to become active, inviting younger generations to join the ecological movement, to take on the responsibility from their elders, and to shoulder the ecological burden for themselves.
