The
Forum on Religion and Ecology is the largest international
multireligious project of its kind. With its conferences,
publications, and website it is engaged in exploring
religious worldviews, texts, and ethics in order to broaden
understanding of the complex nature of current environmental
concerns.
The
Forum recognizes that religions need to be in dialogue
with other disciplines (e.g., science, ethics, economics,
education, public policy, gender) in seeking comprehensive
solutions to both global and local environmental problems.
Institutional
support for this project includes: The
Harvard University Center for the Environment, the Harvard-Yenching
Institute, the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation, the Germeshausen Foundation, the Kendeda Sustainability Fund, the Thomas Berry Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, and the Center
for Respect of Life and Environment of the Humane Society
of the United States.
Forum
Coordinators: Mary
Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, Yale University

Forum Web Content Manager and 2007-2008 Research Associate: Whitney Bauman, Graduate Theological Union
