""This monumental undertaking will pay off for decades to come – maybe centuries, since these concerns aren't going away. The Bible is so woven through with concern for the natural world and the vulnerable who depend on it, and it's high time we recognized that!"" -- Bill McKibben

The Canterbury Earth Justice Lectionary brings worship to the ground, and tunes the worship experience to the groans and energies of Earth. This is a critical resource for preachers, worshippers, and scholars."" -- Jione Havea
