Resurgence Talk: Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim – ‘Living Earth Community’

In this Resurgence Talk, Georgie Gilmore speaks with Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, co-directors of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, about the Living Earth Community. This online knowledge commons is in the lineage of the Journey of the Universe, which situates humans in the vast, evolving universe in which life has arisen. It gathers scientific, spiritual, humanistic and legal perspectives on the liveliness, intelligence and creative capacities of the natural world, and it supports scholars, spiritual leaders, educators, artists, lawyers and changemakers exploring more-than-human ways of knowing. It also draws inspiration from Thomas Berry’s vision of the Great Work of our times to renew our sense of place in the dynamic life systems of the planet. As part of the work of Satish Kumar, The Resurgence Trust is an educational charity that seeks to bring about a just future for people and planet. Resurgence promotes ecological regeneration, social justice and spiritual fulfilment through a broad range of events and its publications.
