A response from the orthodox church on the environment

A comprehensive discussion of the issue from the Christian perspective

This article mentions amongst many other things the limiting of family size as a legitimate response to the issues that face us. An opinion rarely heard in Christian circles. I'm not sure about it myself.

Clearer direction

I have decided to make this a depository amongst other things of literature/links I come across pertaining to my journey as a Christian who loves the earth as part of God's creation. This has been a hard road for me to travel as I have had many real and imagined voices telling me that the environmental movement was not of God and worse that it was inspired by the enemy as a distraction from the gospel. Thank God I no longer wrestle with any of that. Now I am moving forward and into action.
