The Rights of Nature

While there has been an international movement for the rights of nature over the last several decades, no Christian denomination (and no world religion outside of indigenous spiritualities) has adopted a statement of faith and prophetic witness that explicitly claims rights for nature. A resolution before the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ is seeking to change that. In this webinar, the Rev. Dr. Robert Shore-Goss discusses the resolution and then Tish O'Dell from the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund gives a presentation on the rights of nature.
