The September Religion and Ecology Newsletter, besides other interesting items, highlights two New Guidebooks Related to Climate Change
The first publication is a “Green Guide for Muslims,” a 20-page booklet published by Lifemakers UK in conjunction with the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IFEES). This guide provides practical means for Muslim households to mitigate climate change in their everyday decisions (e.g., food, water, transportation, energy, etc.), and it includes a helpful checklist so that each household can see how “green” it is. For more information regarding the Green Guide, e-mail IFEES at info@ifees.org.uk or visit the website at http://www.ifees.org.uk. The Green Guide can be downloaded from the IFEES website: http://www.ifees.org.uk/Muslim_Green_Guide_Print_Final_V3.pdf.
The second publication is Don’t Stop at the Lights, published by Church House Publishing. This book is a guide from the Church of England, which aims to prepare clergy for leading congregations through the challenges of climate change. This user-friendly guide includes discussion of biblical texts, theological themes, environmental policy, inspiring case studies, and suggestions for practical responses. The guide also includes a list of contacts that could be helpful for creating a greener church. More information about this book can be found at the website of The Church of England (http://www.cofe.anglican.org/news/pr6508.html). Copies of the book can be obtained through mail order or via the internet at Church House Publishing (http://www.chpublishing.co.uk).
