'The Parish as Oasis: An Introduction to Practical Environmental Care' is the intriguing title of a book by Drs Ciara Murphy (pictured above) and Kevin Hargaden of the Irish Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice.
In this interview with Pat Coyle of Irish Jesuit Communications, they explain the sense in which a parish can become an 'oasis' using a striking example of how churches are conceived and built in Ethiopia. And they outline some of the 20 practical proposals in their book which communities can engage in as part of 'caring for the earth, our common home'.
