I've been lucky that my personal agenda, figuring nature out, has during my lifetime turned out to be the world agenda, figuring out the human place on the planet. Living locally led me to think globally. My autobiography is "writ large" in the Earth story. When I first find the Pasqueflower in the Rocky Mountains, my faith lives again. Finding trilliums in New York woods will do the same for you

In a forest, as on a desert or the tundra, the realities of nature cannot be ignored. The forest is an archetype of the foundations of the world. Humans evolved in forests and savannas, and classical cultures often remained in contact with forests. In modern cultures, the growth of technology has made the forest increasingly a commodity, decreasingly an archetype. That results in profound value puzzlements. What values lie deep in the forest

Includes bibliographical references (page 67).Ultimately and increasingly, humans are responsible for and to Earth as planet and biosphere. Peoples in their nations are and ought to be united on one Earth, with an ethic inclusive of both humans and nature. Only people can be ethical, but this does not mean that only people count in ethics; to the contrary we are fully human only when we appropriately respect life on Earth in all its rich biodiversity. Much of the urgency for conserving biodiversity arises from our duties to other humans, with nature instrumental to what humans have at stake in their environments. These interests directly feed into national interests and require international cooperation. But a deeper environmental ethics recognizes intrinsic values in and duties directly to nature. Such duties arise because values are distributed at the levels of animals, living organisms, endangered species, and ecosystems as biotic communities, as well as in human life. Cumulatively, this demands an Earth Ethics--increasingly an important mission of the United Nations

Sermon at First Presbyterian Church, Fort Collins, September 4, 2016. Humans cherish freedom. Americans live in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." College students, on leaving home, are free to do their thing. Many who consider themselves uninterested in religion are keenly interested in being free. Jesus, as recounted in the gospels, is a remarkably free man. Though a Galilean peasant, he moved freely among high and lower levels of social status, quick to be forthright and to cut to the quick in criticism. He revised and transformed both Hebrew and Greek thought, founded a great world faith, and is worshipped by billions of persons. He challenged Herod and the Roman tyranny of his day, also the Hebrew Scriptures and religious authorities. He was little concerned for his own physical needs, health, welfare, or security, though showing great compassion for others in need. He went to his death, afraid, a prisoner, yet freely, under the authority of his divine calling. His followers have in him a model for more genuine human freedom
