Maria Nita examines the ways in which green Christians engage with their communities and networks, as well as other activist networks in the broader green movement. The book interrogates key categories in the field of religious studies which intersect activist concerns, including spirituality, community, and ritual. In this sociological exploration the author uses existing research tools, such as discourse analysis, and proposes new theoretical models for the investigation of network expansion, religious identity, and relationality through ritual. Nita examines the mechanisms underlying the greening of religion and thus offers an in-depth analysis of prayers, rituals, and religious practices, such as praying through painting, fasting for the planet, and sharing the green Eucharist in or with nature. . 000763118 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed August 19, 2016). 000763118 650_0 $$aEnvironmentalism$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity. 000763118 650_0 $$aHuman ecology$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity. 000763118 650_0 $$aGreen movement. 000763118 650_0 $$aEcotheology. 000763118 852__ $$bebk 000763118 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-60035-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000763118 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:763118$$pGLOBAL_SET 000763118 980__ $$aEBOOK 000763118 980__ $$aBIB 000763118 982__ $$aEbook 000763118 983__ $$aOnline 000763118 994__ $$a92$$bISE
