EarthSong Journal is published twice a year in conjunction with the project of the same name. Several religious congregations in south-eastern Australia, each of whom has a strong tradition in education, sponsor the project. The EarthSong Project aims to further eco-literacy as well celebrating the numinous, sacred nature of all creation.
The natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong. To be alienated from this community is to become destitute in all that makes us human. (Thomas Berry)
The crisis of sustainability in our times is at heart a spiritual crisis: a crisis of disconnection. Such a crisis is ultimately a moral crisis, requiring both a local and a global context.
The challenge to this present generation of humans is an urgent re-orientation to Earth so that future generations may have a home.
The Earth Song Journal offers perspective on ecology, spirituality, education and insights into a sense of belonging in the wide and diverse continent that is Australia.
The Earth Song Journal features contributions from well-known writers and thinkers as well as from newer voices, all of whom offer challenging ideas, reflections on and celebrations of creation. The journal tells the sacred story of a living Earth embedded in a constantly surprising Universe emerging from the heart of Divine Mystery.
The Earth Song Journal's focus is particularly, though not exclusively, Australian. Contributors offer articles, personal narratives, poetry, art work and educational ideas as seen through Australian eyes.
Earth Song Journal is published twice each year in Spring and Autumn.
