Selected Works

Worship and Ecology

Worshiping in Season: Ecology and Christ Through the Liturgical Year

This is a timely resource for churches of all theological persuasions. Bush skillfully and prophetically calls out the ways in which humanity's lack of care for the earth is having disastrous consequences, especially on the poor. But this book is not a gloomy recitation of our ecological ills. Instead, this is a refreshingly hopeful text that guides preachers on an environmentally conscious journey through the liturgical year. -- Prince Rivers, Editor, Alban at Drew Divinity
