Scheduled for publication on World Environment Day, this collection of essays by Native American, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, and other leaders preserves a record of a symposium at Middlebury College in the US. An introduction situates the symposium at the end of "several decades of steadily increasing concern about our global environmental crisis." The essays are insightful, and in the best traditions of interfaith dialog, they seek to discover what each tradition can contribute to an understanding of this crisis (seen in part as a crisis of moral values and of religious faith), and how to use spiritual resources to respond to the crisis.
