EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Fourteen, Number One January/February 2005 In Praise Of Creation by Fyodor Dostoyevsky O Holy God may we love and respect all your creation, all the earth and every grain of sand in it. May we love every leaf, every ray of your light. May we love the animals: you have given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Let us not trouble them; let us not harass them, let us not deprive them of their happiness, let us not work against your intentions. For we acknowledged that to withhold any measure of love from anything in the universe is to withhold that same measure from you. Home     Table of Contents
