Oil Spill: A Great Awakening?


My new This Huffington Post blog, "Oil Spill: A Great Awakening" is all over the internet -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brenda-peterson/oil-spill-a-great-awakeni_b_641160.html
appearing in such diverse websites as End Times News and Earth First. It's deeply gratifying
to see this post being linked on green sites all over the world. It is also being read and
discussed on conservative sites, such as NewsBusters.org. Their article is suspicious of
any "eco-theology" while giving it lots of press.

Kind of like the censors of any burgeoning spiritual movement who, in trying to deny that belief,
actually end up spreading its "gospel." NewsBusters cites eco-theology as a "media craze" and
is a little wary of "earth worship." It fears that Christian environmentalism is "a product of a
left-wing media culture?" and cites The Huffington Post as an example.

But the reporter does a good job of surveying this new landscape. And I welcome the
dialogue with conservative Christians. We're all here on this earth together.

Thanks so much for all of you who have taken the time to read this. I will write more as the dialogue continues. As we move into seal pup season here on Alki Beach we are all on patrol looking for pups. See this interview on People for Puget Sound website:

And, as always, please see our website: http://www.SealSitters.org for more information on sharing our shores with other neighbors, non-human!
