The Religions of the World and Ecology conference series,
hosted by the Center for the Study of World Religions
(CSWR) at Harvard Divinity School, was the result of research
conducted at the CSWR over a three-year period (1996-1998). Conferences
involved the direct participation and collaboration of
more than 800 scholars, religious leaders, and environmental
specialists from around the world.
These Conferences were organized by the Center for
the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School,
and co-sponsored by Bucknell University and the Center
for Respect of Life and Environment, which is part of
the Humane Society of the United States.
In order to make the fruits of this work available
to larger audiences, the CSWR Publications Office has
developed a series of volumes comprised primarily of
articles written for the conferences. The Religions
of the World and Ecology publications series intends
to map the contours of a new field of study in religion
and explore the resultant implications for other disciplinary
fields, such as contemporary environmental ethics and
public policy.
The conference organizers express their appreciation
for the generous support of the following institutions
and individuals: V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation, the Aga
Khan Trust for Culture, Association of Shinto Shrines,
Nathan Cummings Foundation, Dharam Hinduja Indic Research
Center at Columbia University, Germeshausen Foundation,
Harvard Buddhist Studies Forum, Harvard Center for Middle
Eastern Studies, Harvard Divinity School Center for
the Study of Values in Public Life, Jain Academic Foundation
of North America, Albert and Vera List Endowment, John
D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Laurance Rockefeller,
Sacharuna Foundation, Surdna Foundation, Theological
Education to Meet the Environmental Challenge, and the
Winslow Foundation.
The enormous challenges posed by the environmental
crisis in its many complex and interlinking aspects
have been much debated. Exploding population, diminishing
resources, overconsumption, crippling poverty, rampant
pollution, and unrestrained industrialization have created
seemingly insoluble problems of global proportions.
In searching for solutions to these interrelated problems,
it is becoming increasingly clear that what is needed
is recovery of mutually enhancing human-earth relations.
One approach to reestablish a sense of balance with
nature is to draw on worldviews that reflect this sense
of reciprocity. This series examines the ecological
implications of the beliefs, attitudes, rituals, and
doctrines of various world religions in order to discover
what they might offer to both the larger interdisciplinary
dialogue on the environmental crisis and to the more
immediate, pragmatic aspects of public policy and environmental
ethics.
An introductory essay to each of the volumes written
by conference organizers Mary Evelyn Tucker and John
Grim entitled, “The Challenge
of the Environmental Crisis,” provides an introduction
to the topic of religion and ecology.
