Hi!
kjersten, thanks for your compliment on what I wrote.

I would like to add to this that taking an ecocentric view of the Earth
involves putting ourselves away from the center of it! We need to always
remember this:
We are not the head honchos - God is!
We do not own this Earth!
We are not spoiled children at play in a big playground for the rich and
famous -
We are JUST the guardians of Eden and this Earth is God's Eden -
We are God's children in Eden - the animals are God's animals in Eden- and
We need to assume our roles as stewards of Eden!
We need to stop the arrogant misuse of each other and of this beautiful Earth
(both from God) and assume our proper positions as equal co-creators and co-
defenders, men and women, within the Web of Life!
kjersten, if you haven't already, you should check out Chris King's page on
the Genesis of Eden and he is working on gender reconcilliation -
I think it's time we told everyone that it is time to remember Eden
"The time has come, the time is know - to step down off the high horses we
rode in on and kiss this Eden with tears of regret, love and gratitude and
maybe our tears will will flow and form a river and will cleanse us all of our
arrogrance and forgetfulness!"
Peace and Thanks
Angela

Angela I dont believe we own the earth either but if you dont believe in
a god/dess then neither does he or she. If you are really interested in
not seperating yourself from others then dont try to alienate the atheists
and agnostics on this list! The egalitarian ideal doesnt distinguish
between philosphies and religious beliefs.
My 2 cents,
Bertina
