Democracy dies in darkness

“Religion and climate (in)action: Assessing the obstacles and prospects for effective mobilization in response to the climate emergency . . . and facing up to our apocalyptic moment" is more personal than most of what I write and available for free at doi.org/10.1515/978311…
