ECOLOGY The principle goals of Religious Naturalism (science, spirituality, stewardship) congeal to form a strong ecological point of view to our life on Earth. RN unites science and religion with an ecology that connects us to the natural world around us. It is a way of realizing the interconnectivity that is and has always been. Humans, other life forms and inanimate Nature, are one, part of an emergent ‘Oneness', justifing a skillful stewardship of it all. . The ten ecological resolves of RN are: We shall: accept responsibility for the future of our species and planetary life manage and do those things necessary for the continuation of this life hold life, in its many forms, as a revered process stand in awe and wonder of life but not more so than for what it is take on sustainability as a moral commitment and not exhaust the non-renewable resources of the Earth disturb the face of the Earth no more than is needed and strive wherever possible to preserve its inherent beauty balance the needs of ourselves, tribe and nation to maximize the future of a necessary global society in harmony with its ecosphere limit human population to the carrying capacity of the Earth’s ecosystem aid the continuation of life by understanding it to the best of our ability embrace the apparent self-sacrifices that may be required to promote these resolves seeing them as intelligent self-interest Please note these are all positive shalls and not shall nots.
