Madison and Abbey sit down with ecologist and friend, Jared Meek, to discuss more specifically how Mormonism and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are disconnected from the Land, the Earth, and the World. Can the modern ecological crisis be blamed, as Lynn White suggests, on Christianity? Can White’s criticisms be fairly leveled at Mormonism? As well, Jared, Abbey, and Madison explore how we might re-ground Mormon culture and our personal and communal spiritual practices in the stuff of the Earth.
“Your religion is not the church [you belong] to but the cosmos [you] live inside of.”
