Within the "environmental movement" there is a sense that somehow, the churches seem to have abandoned those who work to honor and preserve what the faith-based community would call "the creation." The issues surrounding ecology, sustainability, endangered species, which many in the environmental community feel would naturally grow from a love of God’s creation, are somehow politicized into alliances with politics which seem antithetical to honoring and preserving God’s creation.

However, some within the faith-based communities are working from within to reconnect their members and churches with what they feel to be the historic teachings of Christian and Jewish traditions which dramatically speak to the divine relationship between humans and the paradise provided.

Fred Krueger, Director of Opening the Book of Nature, is getting people literally in touch with the wilderness and nature to open or reopen the natural flows of spiritual communion that the early churches, sages and saints accepted as an important dynamic of the spiritual life.

In our world, most people who are naturally drawn to the wild speak in various ways of this connection, some more personally than others.

This show will present people who speak openly and honestly about their unique experiences as they willfully set out to explore this connection. The results. . . .
