The Wright Ecotheologian: Recent Episodes
Catherine Wright
As a scholar-practitioner in the areas of sustainability, ethics, service-learning and community engagement, I want to share my conversations with people who are walking-the-walk and talking-the-talk in these areas. It will take a village to overcome the lack of trust, hurt, and woundedness in our world -- but if not me, then who? And if not now, then when? It is a mantra I heard at a conference and it echos in my mind and heart daily. I hope that you will be able to connect with these podcasts that focus on the work I do as an ecotheologian and the Director of The Collaborative for the Common Good (CCG) at Wingate University. Enjoy -- be sure to respond and let me know what you think!
