Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I
"Crime against the natural world is a sin," says Bartholomew I, leader of more than 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide. "The Green Patriarch" has thrown his weight behind various international environmental causes, and urges leaders of other faiths to raise environmental awareness among their believers. The winner of both the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal and the Sophie Prize for leadership in environmental protection and sustainable development, Bartholomew I takes his "fisher of men" duty seriously: In 2003, he brought together 200 scientists, political leaders, and journalists on a cruise ship in the Baltic Sea to discuss marine preservation and the hazards of overfishing. "To protect the oceans is to do God's work," he says. "To harm them, even if we are ignorant of the harm we cause, is to diminish His divine creation."

The Dalai Lama
The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet has been talking up environmental protection since he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. He has said that he considers environmental issues to be among the key challenges facing humanity today -- and as an exile whose homeland is under occupation, he's a man who knows challenges. The U.K. Environment Agency named him one of the top 100 green campaigners of all time last year. This year, the Dalai Lama is offsetting emissions generated by his world tour, and at many of the stops he's stressing the importance of kindness to the planet. He has been outspoken about protecting forests and wildlife and controlling the spread of nuclear power. He calls a clean environment a basic human right, and declares, "It is therefore part of our responsibility towards others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it."

Rev. Sally Bingham
Rev. Sally Bingham
Sally Bingham -- an Episcopal priest and the environmental minister at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Calif. -- brings light to congregations in more ways than one. Via the Interfaith Power & Light campaign, she's been a leader in encouraging religious groups to purchase green power and conserve energy by, among other things, replacing old-style light bulbs with compact fluorescents. The Regeneration Project, which she heads, recently united leaders from Christian, Muslim, and Jewish faith groups to ask the U.S. Congress and the White House to act on global warming. Bingham previously served on the board of Environmental Defense and San Francisco's Commission on the Environment, and has earned many accolades for her work, including the Green Power Leadership Pilot Award and the 2002 Energy Globe Award.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams
Use organic bread and wine for Holy Communion. Sell fairly traded products at church events. Carpool. Recycle. All of these were among the recommendations of Rowan Williams, senior clergyman of the Church of England, in "Sharing God's Planet," his 2005 report to the General Synod meeting. Williams says Christians have a moral duty to practice "sustainable consumption" and "celebrate and care for every part of God's creation." He launched a church-wide national environmental campaign, and, most recently, endorsed a booklet encouraging Christians to play their part in protecting the environment: "How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change a Christian?"

Richard Cizik
As vice president of governmental affairs for the U.S. National Association of Evangelicals, Richard Cizik uses his significant political sway to raise awareness about climate change and other environmental maladies. Evangelicals should "return to being people known for our love and care of the earth and our fellow human beings," says Cizik, who travels the U.S. spreading the doctrine of "creation care," a Bible-based understanding of why Christians have a duty to be environmental stewards. He's faced criticism from other evangelicals for stealing attention away from homosexuality and abortion, but Cizik remains steadfast in his earth evangelizing. "There are still plenty who wonder, does advocating this agenda mean we have to become liberal weirdos?" he says. "And I say to them, certainly not. It's in the scripture. Read the Bible."

Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict XVI
In addition to using an electric Popemobile on the grounds of solar-power-friendly Vatican City, Pope Benedict XVI has been increasingly vocal about the suffering that climate change will cause for the world's poor. "The world is not something indifferent, raw material to be utilized simply as we see fit," he has said. "Rather, it is part of God's good plan." He has said that humans must listen to "the voice of the earth," supported the celebration of a "day for the safeguarding of Creation," spoken out on the need to protect the Amazon, and denounced factory farming. In his recent Sacramentum Caritatis, he endorsed the need for environmental stewardship guided by Catholic faith: "The justified concern about threats to the environment present in so many parts of the world is reinforced by Christian hope, which commits us to working responsibly for the protection of Creation."

Fazlun Khalid
Fazlun Khalid
Founder and director of the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences in Birmingham, U.K., Fazlun Khalid is recognized as the foremost expert on ecology from the Islamic perspective. He has also worked as the director of training at the Alliance of Religions and Conservation and served as a consultant for World Wildlife Fund. Khalid believes that protecting the environment is a form of worship, and that humans have a basic right to the benefits of a healthy planet. "As the guardians of Allah's creation we have a responsibility to protect the environment," he says.

Norman Habel
Norman Habel
Norman Habel is the editor and a contributing author of the Earth Bible, a Biblical interpretation that incorporates ecology, eco-ethics, and eco-theology. A professor at the School of Theology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, Habel's work centers on eco-justice and reconciliation. He serves as coordinator for Season of Creation, an initiative that asks Australia's Lutheran churches to devote a month each year to celebrating creation, much as they celebrate Advent or Lent. "Many people would say it's a kind of New Age movement in many ways, and that Greenies are a little bit loony in many ways," says Habel. "But it's very clear now that more and more people see the crisis of the earth and the crisis for our planet as being something that we all have to face. It's not something that we can ignore."

Rabbi Warren Stone
Rabbi Warren Stone
As rabbi of Temple Emanuel in Kensington, Md., Warren Stone has brought a religious element to discussions of the environment and politics in the Washington, D.C., metro area since 1988. Stone has long been active in efforts to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and combat climate change, and he is founder and chair of the Central Conference of American Rabbis' Committee on the Environment, co-chair of the Religious Campaign for Forest Conservation, and member of the Carbonfund advisory board. In 1997, the self-declared "environmentalist rabbi" was a United Nations delegate at the U.N. Conference on Climate Change in Kyoto, Japan, where the Kyoto Protocol was forged.

Sister Miriam MacGillis
So a Roman Catholic nun founds a farm in New Jersey. No, it's not a joke -- it's Miriam MacGillis, a Dominican Sister on a mission to save the planet. MacGillis is co-founder of the 226-acre Genesis Farm, a "learning center for earth studies" where "all people of goodwill" are welcomed to learn about and share a love for the earth by working the land. For nearly three decades, this "green nun" has taught impoverished youth from urban areas about organic agriculture, earth literacy, and heritage seed preservation. The farm partnered with other local groups to start the Foodshed Alliance, a grassroots effort to sustain farmers, agricultural lands, and the rural way of life in their region. In 2005, MacGillis received the Thomas Berry Foundation Award for her work.

Rev. Fred Small

Rev. Fred Small
Fred Small doesn't merely preach about the sanctity of creation: he has protested at SUV dealerships, demonstrated at the United Nations, and gotten himself arrested outside a U.S. Department of Energy building for nonviolent civil disobedience on behalf of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. A minister at First Church Unitarian in Littleton, Mass., and co-founder of Religious Witness for the Earth, Small believes faith groups need to do more to respond to environmental crises. He recently served as a lead organizer of a nine-day, 85-mile Interfaith Walk for Climate Rescue, during which more than 800 walkers called on the U.S. government to reduce globe-warming emissions 80 percent by 2050. "Living as we do, we are stealing from our children and grandchildren," says Small. "It's unconscionable."
 
12
Rev. Joel Hunter
Rev. Joel Hunter
As a megachurch pastor in Longwood, Fla., and a board member of the National Association of Evangelicals, Joel Hunter might seem an unlikely candidate to spearhead a movement of religious-based environmental stewardship -- but that's exactly what he's doing. He was one of 86 evangelical Christian leaders to sign on to last year's Evangelical Climate Initiative. Last fall, he was selected as the next leader of the Christian Coalition of America, but declined because of disagreements over whether the group's priorities should be expanded to include global warming and poverty. "With God's help, we can stop global warming, for our kids, our world, and for the Lord," says Hunter, who recently was part of a coalition of more than 20 major religious groups urging the U.S. Congress and the Bush administration to take action on climate change.

Karen Baker-Fletcher
Eco-justice theologian Karen Baker-Fletcher interprets the Bible from an environmental, African-American, and womanist perspective. In her book Sisters of Dust, Sisters of Spirit: Womanist Wordings on God and Creation, she celebrates both traditional nature and urban nature as part of God's creation. "We are responsible for giving life back to that which has given us life -- God and the elements of our planet," she writes. Baker-Fletcher is associate professor of theology at the Perkins School of Theology of Southern Methodist University, and was keynote speaker at this year's Interfaith Creation Festival, co-sponsored by Earth Ministry.

Paul Gorman
Paul Gorman is co-founder and executive director of the National Religious Partnership for the Environment, which brings a variety of American faith groups together with the goal of "caring for all creation." The partnership has reached well over 150,000 congregations, including every Catholic parish, tens of thousands of synagogues, and Protestant, Evangelical, and Eastern Orthodox churches. Gorman, who also serves on the board of trustees for the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, received the 1999 Heinz Award for the Environment for his work in bridging religion, spirituality, activism, and social justice.

Thomas Berry
Father Thomas Berry
Raised in the hills of North Carolina in a family of 15, Thomas Berry entered a monastery at the age of 20 and later went on to a prodigious career as a spiritual leader, academic, and historian of the earth. An ordained Catholic priest who attests that the environmental crisis is fundamentally a spiritual crisis, the 93-year-old Berry is widely regarded as the most important eco-theologian of our time -- or, as he describes himself, an "Earth scholar" or "geologian." He spent 25 years as the director of the Riverdale Center of Religious Research in New York City, and became a well-regarded lecturer on the intersection of culture and ecology. "The destiny of humans cannot be separated from the destiny of earth," writes this widely published author, who has covered subjects including Buddhism, the religions of India, and the cosmos.
 

Runners-up


Desmond Tutu

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
In a recent address to mark World Environment Day, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu asserted that world leaders who continued to ignore climate change were violating the rights of future generations. "We must act now and wake up to our moral obligations. Ignoring global warming is a sin, and the future of our beautiful planet is in our hands," said the South African Anglican cleric, a leader of the anti-apartheid movement, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, and now an anti-AIDS activist. His commitment to human rights feeds his concern about global warming, as he notes that the poor will suffer most from the droughts, floods, and other ravages of climate change.

Calvin Dewitt
Calvin DeWitt
For more than 25 years, Calvin DeWitt combined his passions for biology and Christianity as director of the Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies, an academic institution that promotes Christian environmental stewardship. DeWitt, who teaches environmental studies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, is also co-founder of the International Evangelical Environmental Network and former president of the Christian Environmental Council. "The Bible is an ecological handbook," DeWitt says. "I shock some of these evangelical congregations by saying Jesus almost always taught on field trips. They're thinking of him all dressed up and standing behind a pulpit in the church. Jesus was earthy."

Sallie McFague
Sallie McFague
Theologian Sallie McFague spent 30 years teaching at Vanderbilt University's Divinity School, where she united Christian theology with economics and ecology. Her many writings on the subject have included the books The Body of God: An Ecological Theology, Life Abundant: Rethinking Theology and Economy for a Planet in Peril and Super, Natural Christians: How We Should Love Nature. Her work espouses an ecological liberation theology and contends that humanity should glorify God by taking care of the earth. "The planetary agenda, the well-being of the whole, is the context within which theology should operate," writes McFague.

Jim Ball
Rev. Jim Ball
As leader of the influential "What Would Jesus Drive?" campaign and a signatory to the Evangelical Climate Initiative, Rev. Jim Ball has been an active player in both public policy debates and on-the-ground social change. He's president of the Evangelical Environmental Network, a coalition of faith-based communities that believe many environmental problems are fundamentally spiritual problems. Previously, Ball served as climate-change policy coordinator for the Union of Concerned Scientists, and wrote the book Planting a Tree This Afternoon: Global Warming, Public Theology, and Public Policy.

Allen Johnson
Allen Johnson
As the head of Christians for the Mountains, Allen Johnson rallies Christians against mountaintop-removal mining in the Appalachian Mountains. Johnson says his religious and environmental epiphany occurred while volunteering in Haiti in the early 1990s, and led him to quit his job to attend seminary. "We believe that God made this planet, that God loves the earth, God loves creation, God loves humanity, and that even though God gives us freedom to spin our destiny, God doesn't want it to be trashed," says Johnson.

LeeAnne Beres, director of Earth Ministry in Seattle -- www.earthministry.org

Nice

Glad to see Grist at least doesn't take the tack that religion is anti-environmental.  

If we could nominate historic figures I think every Catholic would vote for St. Francis.

You forgot Yale Divinity School

I would love to see my professor Dr. Letty Russell of Yale Divinity School on this list.  Letty was the first professor that I had that included environmental theology in her Liberation Theology classes (YDS 1999-2000). I helped write the environmental liturgy for a worship service with Letty in this class.  (YDS has a good collection of eco-theology worship resources.) It may have been the first eco-liturgy and communion done for Yale Divinity School. From 1998 to 2001, I searched for months trying to locate doctorate programs in eco-theology and never could find one school in the United States. I am a moderate thinking evangelical Presbyterian/Pentecostal, who experienced heavy resistance from peers/clergy about my advancement of environmental concerns within the church.

Eco Leaders

This box is too small for me to send you all the news I have about the person responsible for the world-wide transformation that is happening.  The next best thing is for you to become informed by becoming knowledgeable about it by visiting the places where the transformation began and is ongoing.  Look at www.mum.edu, www.globalgoodnews.com, www.invincibleamerica.org, www.enlightenmenttoday.org, www.globalcountry.org, www.alltm.org, www.mou.org.  All of these organizations are practicing and teaching the Transcendental Meditation technique and yogic flying, both of which create an ordering affect that raises the level of consciousness of non-meditators so they are more aware of the right thing to do and are inclined to do it, as opposed to being thoughtless, heartless, etc.   This is possible because most of humanity is functioning at the lowest level of consciousness and the TM programs raise it.  Do search for "yogic flying."

The Reverend Canon Peter Gwillim Kreitler

You missed my good friend and colleague Peter Kreitler, the Environmental Priest for the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, previously named as an environmental hero of the planet by National Geographic magazine, a prolific writer and speaker who has been on the environmental path to global salvation for at least 30 years.  Visit www.earthtalktoday.tv to see more information about Peter's environmental talk show public access television program.  Earth Talk Today programming is now online at www.joost.com.

Cheers,

Ron Castle

Cheers.

Pope Benedict is Earth-friendly???

Don't forget he opposes all birth control, and says it's a sin for Catholics to use.  He's more responsible for overpopulation of humans than any other person on earth.

David D. Schmidt
15 Green Religious Leaders

A great list, but I propose adding Andrew Sleet, an evangelical MD, who downsized his life-style and is now circuit-riding to evangelical churches (including the Mega-Churches) proclaiming the "green message" to the faithful. His book is: Serve God, Save the Planet. He was previously written up by Alternet at:

http://grist.org/news/maindish/2006/10/05/sleeth/

correction

You must mean Dr. J. Matthew Sleeth, who was hosted by Sally Bingham here in California for his book tour in April.  He has also worked with the Interfaith Power and Light networks in Washington, D.C. and Texas.  You can see a video of his presentation to the Graduate Theological Union's Beatitudes Society (www.beatitudessociety.org) at http://www.interfaithpower.org/blog/2007/05/video-dr-slee ....  Cheers!

re: Pope Benedict is Earth-friendly???

Exactly what I was going to say.

I think Sallie McFague should have gotten his spot in the top 15.

Kellyann

Peter Illyn and Restoring Eden

Hey, what a great list!  I now have some new role models.  Another green religious leader is Peter Illyn, director of Restoring Eden (www.restoringeden.org).  Peter's been travelling across the country for 12 years speaking the message of creation care at evangelical colleges and churches.  On some of his tours, he's shared the stage with Gwich'in tribal leaders to encourage people to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  Peter's also led groups of Christian college students to lobby for green causes in Washington, D.C.  On top of all that, he's an eye-patch wearing llama-packer!

green religious leaders

look into Daisaku Ikeda, lay president of Soka Gakkai Internatonal, his participation in creating "The Quiet Revolution" film and support for the Earth Charter http://www.sgi-usa.org/thesgiusa/community/programs/earth ...

green religious leader

Ruah Swennerfelt, director of Quaker Earthcare Witness.  Quakers have been organized for 20 years to make this connection between spirituality, environment and community.

Tammy Faye Baker: Eco-Saintress


In that sense, we should all pay respects to Tammy Faye Baker, newly departed.   She stole so much money from the congregation, they could not use it to buy gasoline and burn it up in their 1980's Plymouth Dusters.  

Texeme.Construct(Participant)
The Pope

I'm impressed that the Pope has spoken out against factory farming, though it would be nice if he practiced what he preaches and stopped wearing fur (since most fur comes from factory farms where mink, fox and other animals are kept in tiny cages and often killed by gassing and electrocution).

don't forget!

the vatican just went carbon neutral, the pope may not be perfect but at least he has shown in many ways that he takes stewardship of the environment seriously.

http://blogs.smh.com.au/sit/archives/2007/07/heavens_abov ...

Green Religious Leaders

Your list should definitely include John Daido Loori, Roshi who is the Abbott of Zen Mountain Monastery in New York (see  http://www.mro.org/zmm/index.php). He is a long standing teacher in the Zen tradition for whom the (Buddhist) precepts and the environment are  mutually interdependent. The Monastery (in Mt. Tremper, NY) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2005 and serves monastic as well as lay practitioners in the Catskills as well as downtown Brooklyn.

Green Religious Leaders

I'm glad to see LeeAnne Beres of Earth Ministry nominated by amyk.  I'd also put forth the Rev. Carla Pryne, founding director of Earth Ministry, a Seattle non-profit inspring and mobilizing the Christian Community to play a leadership role in building a just and sustainable future

Sister Pat Daly

I can't believe Grist missed the toughest nun on the block in this list.  Sister Pat Daly has stared down Jack Welch, Bill Ford, and many others in using the Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment's $110 billion in assets to pressure for environmental and social change.  Her work has resulted in many victories against companies like GE, Ford, and many other pollutocrats.

Gabriel of Urantia

Your list of Green Religious Leaders is incomplete without Gabriel of Urantia, pastor of the Global Community Communications Alliance Church. This unique man has been an activist for over thirty years while helping countless people of all ages through his spiritual rehabilitation programs. In scenic Sedona, where he currently lives, he has been instrumental in resisting over-development and in helping to preserve the natural resources of this national jewel. He publishes the Alternative Voice, a periodical that addresses a myriad of environmental issues and offers solutions to such pressing problems as the current state of the global and local water supply.
I heartily nominate him. You can learn more about him at: http://gabrielofurantia.net/

religious leaders aka the Dalai Lama


you should also mention that the Dalai Lama is a patron of Sea Shepherd. i find that fascinating
myself.

your lists are ok, but you needed to have a lot more people on them. maybe do a top 20, at least.

Unitarian Universalist Sinkford speaks for Earth

One of the seven guiding principles of Unitarian Universalism is respect for the interdependent web of all existence.  In 2006 UUs passed a Statement of Conscience on The Threat of Global Warming/Climate Change, and Rev. William Sinkford, the president of the Unitarian Universalist Association speaks strongly about our moral responsibilities to both care for and celebrate the natural world which sustains us.  Here is a prayer he delivered at an Earth Witness event in Portland, OR in June:

REV. WILLIAM SINKFORD'S PRAYER FOR EARTH WITNESS (June 23, 2007- Portland, OR)

Spirit of Life and of Love. Dear God.

We come, first, to confess. Our comforts, our wasteful ways
have been purchased at a huge price. We thought that the earth was here for us to use,in any way we wished. The language of dominion over the earth led us astray.

We are part of the interconnected web of existence, not apart from it. We are born of the earth and supported by her bounty. She is our mother.

We thought she could recover always, never be depleted, forgive even our most violent attacks. Our violation of the earth has amounted to matricide. By insisting that the poor and people of color bear the greatest human cost, we have been committing fratricide. By our headlong rush to use up the earth `til she is spent, we have been committing suicide.

Dear Mother, we are beginning to see what we have done. We promise to do everything in our power to bring the violation to an end.

We pray that we will have the wisdom and the will to do this well.

We pray we are not too late.

Amen.

the list is endless

The responses to this list show that everyone has their favourite "green" leader, and I am sure that most - if not all - claims are valid. The list really is endless, and I have argued on Carbon Copy (http://www.carbonsmart.com/carboncopy/2007/10/green-peopl ...) that green people are simply those that have heart and passion and a sense of responsibility and justice that guides how they think and act - whether or not they talk openly about green issues.

Green people instinctively know what is right for the environment and life on earth. That's why a lot of religious leaders should be green, though being religious is no guarantee of responsible living.

Pope John Paul II

I agree with the last comment, but I can't resist continuing the endless list with one of my personal favorites ;)

I don't know much about Pope Benedict XVI, but I know for sure that Pope John Paul spoke frequently about environmental issues.

For example:
"If an appreciation of the value of the human person and of human life is lacking, we will also lose interest in others and in the earth itself. Simplicity, moderation and discipline, as well as a spirit of sacrifice, must become part of everyday life, lest all suffer the negative consequences of the careless habit of a few....A true education in ecological responsibility is urgent and entails a genuine conversion in ways of thought and behavior."
- Pope John Paul II, World Day of Peace, 1990

For further reading, check out the book 'Ecology and Faith: The Writings of Pope John Paul II' by Ancilla Dent.

perhaps they might support a solution???

where do we go from here?

The radiolitic decomposition of organic materials generates hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is a very useful energy course; burns clean with water as the emission by- product. Humans generate a phenomenal amount of organic waste. The United Nations is very concerned about oceanic contamination by organic waste. Human organic waste could be treated to prevent methane generation, then exposed to nuclear waste to generate hydrogen gas. The potential solving of three issues with one action.

NUCLEAR WASTE UPDATE
A free service from Nuclear Waste News | January 14, 2008

First Plasma-Waste Treatment Facility Slated for Romania
An Israeli company has announced plans to build Romania's first plasma-waste treatment facility.

Under a $30 million, 25-year build/operate/transfer (BOT) contract, Environmental Energy Resources (EER) will build a plant that uses plasma gasification melting technology. The system -- developed by Israeli and Russian scientists at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology -- sorts municipal and solid waste in a reactor, where metal particles are separated by magnets, with the remaining waste broken down by high heat.

That organic material is converted into gases, and the remaining waste becomes black gravel suitable for use in infrastructure projects. EER said the system also can break down medical and radioactive waste, thereby providing a waste treatment solution for nuclear power stations.

EER's shareholders include Urdan Industries Ltd. (TASE: URDN), Shrem Fudim Technologies Ltd. (TASE:SFKT), Makoto Takahashi's Tokyo Financial Group, the Canada-Israel Opportunity Fund, Leon Recanati and Shlomo Nehama.
