Laudato Si and the Countryside: Caring for Our Common Rural Home (Summer 2015)

Screen Shot 2015-08-27 at 1.33.26 PMPope Francis’s  eco-encyclical, Laudato Si, has something to say to everyone. But in a particular way, it has implications for those who live and work closest with creation: rural people. In this issue, we unpack the encyclical as it relates to life in the countryside.

Other articles look at the importance of virtue in ecological stewardship and the need for a receptive heart.
