Liturgy and Ecology in Dialogue provides pastors, preachers, and parish liturgy committees with useful material for dealing with ecological issues in worship and in homilies. Similarly, those involved in the ecological movement will learn how Christian worship can support and sustain their efforts to promote care for the environment.

The final chapter provides practical suggestions for fostering ecological concern in local worshiping communities, including the proper integration of ecological issues into the liturgy, promoting a fuller and richer use of symbols in worship, using authentic materials, and recognizing occasions for special celebrations that heighten environmental awareness.

The book concludes with an examination of the three-year Roman Catholic lectionary, highlighting readings that provide a basis for preaching on ecological issues.
