****CATHEDRAL ON FIRE | A CHURCH HANDBOOK FOR THE CLIMATE CRISIS*
The urgency of the climate crisis requires that we act as if our 
cathedrals and churches are on fire. Indeed, God's creation can be seen 
as one grand cathedral on fire with burning forests and rising 
temperatures. Amid this dire situation, Brooks Berndt focuses our 
attention on the unique and vitally needed gifts that churches can 
offer. He writes with poetic passion but also with an eye toward the 
practical as every chapter ends with suggested, field-tested actions.

Chapters in the book explore the following areas in which churches 
possess immense potential:

    a commitment to care for God's creation as our first calling
    a scriptural basis in pursuing justice for a planet and its people
    a moral foundation for understanding the climate crisis as an
    inequality crisis
    a powerful, sacred language for articulating what fundamentally
    motivates people to act
    a hope-giving history found in the faith leaders who launched the
    environmental justice movement
    a rich tradition of theology in times of crisis
    a countercultural ethic of generational justice found in the Bible
    a recognition of youth as the climate prophets of today
