Abstract
My aim in this paper is to consider the role of the Christian Church in the context of what is an increasingly obvious global environmental crisis, and concerning which a great deal has been said in recent years. It is not my intention to elaborate on that crisis, except to note that its scope encompasses not only ecological issues, but also has some significant implications for social justice and for human and other life generally. Part of the problem has been that Christian theology and mission has tended to be anthropocentric, and along with the population at large, to have taken the natural world very much for granted.
