Jim Wallis has recently written a concise but informative and provoking article on Jesus' word's "Love your neighbor as yourself" and the current ecological crisis. He essentially talks about how this exhortation to love neighbor can and should be extended to all humanity and the entire planet. This injunction serves as an important Christian grounds for practically addressing the problems we are currently facing concerning the environment and the Earth. One nice feature of his article is that it offers a good amount of statistics about future projections of humanitarian and environmental issues as well as Christian denominational sentiments about climate change.
