“Practice resurrection.”

New here? Start with these pieces that sketch what I mean by “Ecology of the Cross.”

What is the Ecology of the Cross?
An overview paper that lays out the integral ecology of the cross and why kenosis + ecological intentionality matter.
Process Ecology of the Cross
A deeper dive into communion, kenosis, fire, and planetary politics through a process-relational lens.
Why Edith Stein matters here
How The Science of the Cross became the metaphysical and spiritual backbone of this whole project.
Hildegard, Viriditas, and the Cross
Greening, viriditas, and how a medieval mystic’s vision feeds an ecological theology of the cross.
Ecological Intentionality
The AAR paper that frames “ecological intentionality” as performing peace beyond human boundaries.
