Faith, ecology, and the work of development

Elly Kansiime examines the church’s role in sustainable development through a theological and ecological lens. The book connects the church’s institutional reach and ministry responsibilities with a broader account of development shaped by biblical teaching. Its central concern is holistic development: how development work might be understood in relation to faith, human relationships, and care for creation. The discussion frames the church as a participant in development and considers what that involvement means for the ways developers integrate theological perspectives into their work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian approaches to development and sustainability
  • Church leaders and practitioners considering the church’s role in community development
  • Those exploring connections between theology, ecology, and development practice

Book overview

This piece of work focuses on the role of the church in sustainable development. The church is a major player because of the big numbers that constitute her institution. She has an everyday opportunity, and over binding responsibility to fulfilll her ministry mandate. The church is one of the front line players in development, and her place is vital because she is supposed to engage a holistic role in development, more than any other player does. The author looks at development from a divine perspective, and expects all developers, to integrate the biblical teaching so that it can make meaning theologically and ecologically to sustain holistic development.

The church is one of the front line players in development, and her place is vital because she is supposed to engage a holistic

role in development, more than any other player does. The church is relational in the sense that she represents a relational God. The writer

looks at development from a divine perspective, and expects all developers, to integrate the biblical teaching in development so that it can

make meaning and sustain God's creation.
