Spiritual Ecology
A Preliminary Sketch
The aim of this paper is to introduce to the reader the concept of “spiritual ecology.” I show how the concept of spiritual ecology
opens up for us a broader, more holistic way of understanding the living complex of relations existent among the various religions and
spiritualities of the world. I also show how the concept of spiritual ecology opens up for us the possibility of appreciating the inner
integrity and truth of ways of spirituality not our own.
