About

Welcome! We are so glad you have found your way to The Ecological Disciple.

What This Is - Newsletter, Resource, Community

This is an online newsletter for followers of Jesus who love God and the world that God has made, who look in awe and wonder at distant galaxies, microscopic particles, and everything in between, who recognize the strands that connect all things in a wondrous Web of Being, and who are concerned with the ways we are pulling those strands apart.

This is a resource for those who want to pursue the ecological discipleship needed in an age of ecological crisis, who want to practice an integrated faith that sees the connections between soil care and soul care, renewable energy and racial justice, evangelism and ecosystems, child poverty and climate change. This is for those who want to help bring renewal to people and planet.

This is a community for those who are “learning to follow Jesus from the ground up.” As writers, we are your guides and fellow learners - we are excited to share the journey with you!

What We Do - Write, Publish, Respond

We publish one post each week, usually on Thursdays, in one of our three columns. "The WAY Forward" explores what it means to be an ecological disciple. James Amadon is the most frequent writer for this column, but will be stepping away from regular writing in 2026. Louise Conner publishes "The Art of Creation," which looks at the artistry inherent in creation and the view of that artistry through the lens of human art. Our third column, is "Practical Earthkeeping," which is written by various guest writers. We are looking forward to sharing the writing of six regular contributors who have joined us for 2026.
