Beginning with Quaker themes historically, essays also move toward developing a Quaker ecotheology, discuss Quaker approaches to the environment within academic disciplines, and share stories of sustainability--both individually and organizationally. As a disciplinary contribution to the world from the Friends Association for Higher Education, this book not only reports on ecotheology in action, it also contributes to its furtherance with the discussion questions at the end of each section and an expansive bibliography. An excellent resource for study groups or the classroom, readers concerned about the environment, climate change, and the role of people of faith in caring for the planet will find this volume a must-read. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCritical Acclaim for this Volume: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"This is the richest resource on Quakerism and creation care to date! Rooted in deep spirituality and practical experience, the chapters canvas the topic from history to theology, from academics to activism. I have never seen the case for a distinctively Quaker call to stewardship presented with this breadth and force before.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e― \u003cb\u003ePhilip Clayton\u003c\/b\u003e, Ingram Professor of Theology at the Claremont School of Theology and author of Adventures in the Spirit \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"On page two of George Fox's Journal, he talked about the three great loves of our religion: love of God, love of neighbor, and love of God's good earth. This remarkable collection speaks to all three loves in the Quaker past, present, and future. I was inspired and moved by the insights, wisdom, and faithfulness evidenced in this book.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cb\u003eSteve Chase\u003c\/b\u003e, Manager of Academic Initiatives at the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict and author of Letters to a Fellow Seeker \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Editors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCherice Bock\u003c\/b\u003e teaches in the Creation Care Program at Portland Seminary of George Fox University and served as visiting professor of environmental studies at the Oregon Extension in 2018. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eStephen Potthoff\u003c\/b\u003e serves as associate professor of religion and philosophy at Wilmington College in Ohio. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Artinian-Kaiser\u003cbr\u003eCherice Bock (editor)\u003cbr\u003eMike Heller\u003cbr\u003eDouglas J.
