Conlon is an up and coming member of a group of spiritual writers calling for a more earth-centered, ecologically balanced approach to religion and everyday life. Conlon presents life as a three-dimensional journey: personal, communal and cosmic-universal. He develops the notion that spirituality must be grounded in origins, both local and global, and that any damage people do to the earth damages not only themselves, the community and spirituality, but also those of future generations.

In response to the explosion of modern scientific knowledge in our world, Conlon argues that a profound reinvention of our lives, our actions, and our institutions is necessary so that we can enter into our true roles in this sacred universe. He explores practical strategies in the work of education, community organizing, environment action, psychology, and cultural reinvention with this aim of invoking a new era of humanity, one he calls the ecological age.

Geo-Justice: A Preferential Option for the Earth

Wood Lake Books

In this profoundly motivating book, author James Conlon proposes a new approach to life on Earth. He looks at the present ecological situation-- including the depletion of natural resources, pollution, and the devastation of wilderness and wildlife-- and urges readers to adapt to a lifestyle more in sync with the needs of our planet."Earth Story, Sacred Story" examines elements of our culture that are undesirable in terms of their ultimately negative impact on the quality of life in general. The squelching of creativity by modern institutions is seen by Conlon as particularly harmful; in this regard, he focuses on aspects of culture that can be changed and nurtured to enact a return to our creative origins.Conlon is conversant with the teachings of modern theologians in regard to Earth spirituality: Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Berry, Gregory Baum, and Dom Helder Camara.Discussion questions at the end of each chapter, an intensive bibliography, and a concise glossary make this an ideal book for adult study groups. The individual reader will also find much that is of challenge and benefit in these pages.(From the back cover)

Invisible Excursions: A Compass for the Journey articulates the emergence of an engaged spirituality. It reclaims for readers the best of their inherited tradition at this time in human/earth history, when many of the structures upon which society is built seem to be retreating from relevance.

Invisible Excursions: A Compass for the Journey

Wyndham Hall Press

Through poems, prayers and practices, we can stimulate the imagination and tap into the wisdom of the heart, and thus draw sustenance for our work in the world. I have found these three modes to be trusty companions on the journey, and wish to share them with you that you may benefit from them, as well. This book is organized into three distinct sections: Let the Cosmos Speak (poems), Paying Attention to Each Sacred Moment (prayer) and Cultivating Habits of the Heart (spiritual practice). However, you will find overlap between them. For example, you can compose a prayer in the form of a poem. Or you can write a poem about the power of prayer. Similarly, the spiritual practices you choose can involve prayer or the writing of poetry. I have shared poems and prayers that emerged from my own creative process and the practices that have been of value to me. Please enjoy them, but don’t stop there. Sacred Butterflies is meant not only be read in a passive manner but to serve as an inspiration and invitation to give voice to what lies deep within.
