About the Book
Professor Grey's speech, Practices of Communion. The Task of an Integral Ecology, Expanded and deepened the .ecological issue . . . . to restore our relations with each other, with creation and with the Creator. According to Carmody Grey, that requires a fundamental change of attitude towards the world. We have to live, she argued, from the question; How can I contribute to this?Peace and blessingHow can I grow this? That is the opposite of thinking from what it calls technocratic paradigm, which essentially focuses on the question: What can I get out of this? What's the point of this? As the ultimate example of a Practice of Communion Carmody Grey called it motherhood. That embodiment of fundamental bondage, care and devotion reflects the essence of the revolution of tenderness that Pope Francis called upon in Laudato Si.
Carmody Grey is a special professor at the Socires-chair Integral Ecology at the Laudato Si hindered institution, within the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religion Sciences of Radboud University in Nijmegen.
