Healing Our Divide with the Non-Human World: Theological Foundations and Pedagogical Practices within the Wild Church Network
Stahl, Wanda J.
Religious Education, v117 n1 p61-73 2022
A growing number of new faith communities in North America are emerging as part of the Wild Church Network. These outdoor church expressions seek to re-acquaint, re-cover, and re-member their faith communities as loving participants of the larger community of Creation. This paper explores theological foundations and spiritual practices grounding the ecclesiologies of these communities. This study is based on data gathered from site visits, surveys, and interviews with Wild Church leaders and participants. Implications for faith formation in this time of climate crisis will be explored.
