This book presents the ecological vision of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, an outstanding, outspoken religious leader on environmental issues. Cosmic Grace, Humble Prayer is a unique and comprehensive collection of church statement and occasional addresses by the Ecumenical Patriarch, some of them translated here for the first time. Editor John Chryssavgis has organized these pieces chronologically and thematically, highlighting particular points of interest and importance. He also provides a substantial historical and theological introduction to the initiatives and writings of 'the Green patriarch' and to the unmatched environmental perspective of the Orthodox Church.
