Christianity And Environmentalism
A variety of views exist among different Christians and Christian denominations regarding the correct relationship between Christianity and environmentalism.
According to some social science research, Christians and members of the Christian right are typically less concerned about issues of environmental responsibility than the general public.
Green Christianity is a broad field that encompasses Christian theological reflection on nature, Christian liturgical and spiritual practices centered on environmental issues, as well as Christian-based activism in the environmental movement. Within the activism arena, green Christianity refers to a diverse group of Christians who emphasize the biblical or theological basis for protecting and celebrating the environment. The term indicates not a particular denomination, but a shared territory of concern.
