92. Embracing Climate Grief, with Hannah Malcolm

For many of us who are really committed to earthcare causes, it is easy to put all our focus on changemaking, on action, and on working for a more hopeful climate future. Sometimes though, we focus on taking action without really taking time to embrace the reality of what has already been lost due to climate change. Our guest in this episode makes the case that we need to allow ourselves to grieve what we have lost—and that this grieving will ultimately help us to become better, more honest earthkeepers. Hannah Malcolm is an assistant curate in the Church of England, a young mother, and the editor of a book of essays called "Words for a Dying World: Stories of Grief and Courage from the Global Church.”Guest: Hannah Malcolm Church of EnglandIPCC: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ChangeBoard member at Operation Noah Grieving the Earth as Prayer Words for a Dying World Twitter  Mentions: Aquinas Sycamore Gap Landmarks by Rob Macfarlane Keywords: climate grief, climate anxiety, mourning ecological loss, lament, liturgies, Psalms, ministry, church, worship, children, climate change, ecological collapse, creation care, earth advocacy, ecology of place, language, generational grief, climate justice, climate inequityFind us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple
