EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Seven, Number One November/December 1997 CELEBRATING THE COMPLETED LIFE OF JAMES F. BERRY April 11, 1917 - September 7, 1997 It is with sadness that we note the death of our friend James F. Berry. It is with deep gratitude that we reflect on his commitment and contributions to social and environmental justice during his life. As a student and supporter of the work of his brother, Father Thomas Berry, Jim worked tirelessly since his retirement from the Air Force in 1968 to help faith communities embrace protection of the Earth as a religious commitment. We will miss his insightful newsletters and the yearly conferences sponsored by his organization, Center for Reflection on the Second Law (CRSL). Jim was a member of the Board of Directors of the North American Conference on Christianity and Ecology since its founding in 1986, and its President, 1992 - 94. We remember him for his loving spirit, his enthusiasm and his wonderful ability to generate ideas and proposals during Board meetings. The NACCE Board of Directors Home     Table of Contents
