Sacred Earth: 
Spirituality and Sustainability
June 11 to 13 2010

 

 Both education and religion need to ground themselves within the story of the universe as we now know it through our empirical ways of knowing. Within this functional cosmology we can overcome our alienation and begin the renewal of life on a sustainable basis....We might reflect that a fourfold wisdom is available to guide us into the future: the wisdom of indigenous peoples, the wisdom of women, the wisdom of the classical traditions, and the wisdom of science"

Thomas Berry, The Great Work (1999)

Conference sponsored by Chestnut Hill College School of Graduate Studies, the Holistic Spirituality Program, and the Sisters of Saint Joseph Earth Center and with support from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council
