Roger Gottlieb spoke Nov. 15 at Vanderbilt University on "Religious Environmentalism: Promises and Challenges." Gottlieb is a professor of philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Gottlieb, dubbed "a true spiritual guide for our day" by theologian John Cobb, is the author of A Greener Faith: Religious Environmentalism and our Planet's Future, Joining Hands: Politics and Religion Together for Social Change and The Oxford Handbook on Religion and Ecology. His vision is "a bright picture of the faith community's capacity for caring for God's creation," said Bob Edgar, head of the National Council of Churches. Gottlieb's lecture was presented by the Project on Ecology and Spirituality of Vanderbilt's Center for the Study of Religion and Culture.

It is a pity that not many people have seen this video. The world´s largest religions all have the same history. They begin as a grass roots movements and then become overtaken by kings or politicians or people in power like Constantine, and the people become manipulated. This is precisely what has happened with the world´s largest secular religion, Environmentalism.
