Today is the Feast of St Francis. He is well known for his insight that all of creation is interconnected and equal in the sight of God. Thus he spoke of brother Sun and sister Mother Earth. Not surprisingly St Francis is names the patron saint of the environment. St Francis was equally concerned about peace making, calling for peace whether that was between neighbours or between the saracens and the crusaders.
Caring for the environment and peace making go hand in hand. Failure to care for the environment leads to conflict; conflict damages the environment.
To be an environmentalist is to be a peacemaker.
