Welcome, Elizabeth Hope Harrelson

Welcome, Elizabeth Hope Harrelson

Elizabeth (Lily) was born this afternoon at 2:30 PM in Columbia, SC. She is 7lbs 6oz (I called it exactly) and 50cm (19.7 inches). She and Merianna are doing great and excited for walking this journey of life together with our family, friends, colleagues, and community!

As I always tell my students on Tuesdays, “It’s the Optimistic Day!”

“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.
