Space Between Church and NotChurch, The
Book Description
In a world where environmental crisis meets spiritual awakening, Caroline Fairless presents a transformative vision that transcends traditional religious boundaries. This thoughtful exploration challenges readers to move beyond human-centered interpretations of faith toward a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness with all living beings.
Fairless guides readers through a profound shift in perspective, questioning long-held biblical concepts of dominion and control over nature. Instead, she advocates for embracing what she calls a "natural web morality" that recognizes the sacred essence present in every aspect of creation. This approach honors the intrinsic value of all life forms and positions humanity as participants rather than rulers within the earth's community.
The book offers a practical seven-step framework designed to awaken readers' hearts to our planet's urgent needs while inspiring meaningful action. Rather than preaching from a single religious tradition, Fairless creates space for both church-affiliated individuals and those outside organized religion to come together in shared purpose. This inclusive approach enables diverse groups to collaborate in developing meaningful rituals and practices focused on planetary healing.
Through this spirit-centered methodology, readers discover how environmental stewardship becomes a deeply relational practice. The work invites a fundamental reimagining of humanity's role within the larger biotic community, offering hope for those seeking authentic ways to serve both their spiritual growth and the earth's restoration.
