Planetary Hugs<\/h2>\n Planetary hugs at the 2023 Parliament of the World\u2019s Religions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n These are good people here. Well, even if they are simul justus et peccator <\/em>(or even just\u00a0peccator<\/em>), they embrace*\u00a0<\/strong>good things. World peace and economic justice top the list of goods embraced. Planetary sustainability, a healthy diet, women\u2019s rights, non-violence, animal welfare, intersectional dignity, and deep breaths are drawn to everyone\u2019s bosom and felt in the heart. \u201cPlanetary Hugs\u201d is the term that comes to my mind.<\/p>\n*** Planetary Hugs and the Global Ethic<\/h3>\n I\u2019ve followed some of the Global Ethic sessions. I find the foundational assumptions here a bit odd. The Global Ethic\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026is a unique and courageous expression of the moral values and principles shared by people throughout the world, whether religious or not\u2026It is a powerful starting place for collaboration between those whose beliefs or worldviews may clash but who agree on the basic moral principles and values that ground their work on issues of common concern. (Program Booklet)<\/p>\n This sounds like a democratic approach to values. Whatever is already valued becomes the norm. I\u2019d prefer my norm to be philosophically or even theologically grounded rather than subject to principles already shared, especially those principles shared by the petroleum industry or strongman tyrannies. But, let me button my lip. For a half century now it has been my planetary hug to proffer a vision of a single society that is just, participatory, sunstainable, and planetary. So, I feel at home with the planetary hugs of the Parliament.<\/p>\n The Global Ethic Declaration of 1993<\/h3>\n \u201cGlobal Ethic\u201d at the Parliament of the World\u2019s Religions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Parliament has been at this since 1993, when it published its Global Ethic Declaration<\/a>. The declaration begins with a strong statement of need.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Global Ethic<\/em>\u00a0responds to an urgent practical need as well as a deep spiritual hunger for clear moral guidance on the most fundamental issues of human life and conduct. It expresses a minimal set of principles for committed action in a world torn by violence, religious and racial hatred, oppression of women and minority groups, extremes of wealth and poverty, and the growing threat of climate change and destruction of the natural world. A major achievement of the Global Ethic is to demonstrate that there is agreement on these issues. It recognizes that beyond legislated laws and conventions there must be changes in people\u2019s minds, hearts, and ways of life.<\/p>\n I appreciate particularly Directive 5: you shall not be greedy. Or, to put it another way, \u201cCommitment to a Culture of Sustainability and Care for the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n Specifically, one session I attended began by envisioning the planetary society of the future. It has been my contention for half a century that a global ethic begins with a vision of how integrated life should be and is then followed by appropriate action. \u201cThink globally and act locally,\u201d was the slogan for the 1979 World Future Society. So, I was gratified when walking into this session.<\/p>\n But, then I got disappointed. Projecting a vision consisted only of visionary meditation. Where\u2019s the science? Where is the technology? In 1972 the Club of Rome<\/a> told us how to employ computer projections\u2013population growth, natural resource depletion, agricultural production, industrial production, and pollution production\u2013as data to determine specific global policies. But, alas, all we get at the Parliament is meditation. Planetary hugs? Great. But no growth in sophistication in 50 years<\/a>. Yuck.<\/p>\n Planetary Hugs in the Earth Charter<\/h3>\n The Earth Charter\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>of the year 2000 similarly recognizes our global connectedness and the urgency of planetary hugs. \u201cHumanity is part of a vast evolving universe. Earth, our home, is alive with a unique community of life.\u201d Within the Earth Charter\u2019s game plan is employment of science and technology. \u201cPromote development, adoption, and equitable transfer of sound technologies.\u201d Hooray!<\/p>\n Science and Religion Track at the Parliament<\/h3>\n IRAS sockdolager Dr. C.J. Love<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n*********** ** When I attend sessions within the Science and Religion track sponsored by IRAS (Institute on Religion In an Age of Science), we hear actual data regarding food production and prospects of developing increased aquaculture.\u00a0 Ah. My sanity has returned.<\/p>\n ** ***********More. Like the Earth Charter, the scientists at the Parliament remind us that Planet Earth is contextualized in the solar system, which is contextualized in the Milky Way, which in turn belongs to an immense cosmos. Planetary hugs become cosmic hugs.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/h2>\n************* ** I\u2019m heartend by the overflow of heartfelt commitment to future generations who will live in the biosphere now being robbed of its fecundity by the present generations. And I\u2019m heartened that persons in such a wide variety of religious traditions are of one mind regarding the urgency for global repentance, metanoia, and transformation. I\u2019m joining in the planetary hugs.<\/p>\n ** Yet, what we need are practical strategies deriving from scientific visions of just what needs to be done in order to heal what is broken in the human relationship with the biosphere.<\/p>\n ** *************For more, try these.<\/p>\n Ecotheology when \u201cIt\u2019s Time to Act\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Just, Sustainable, Participatory, and Planetary.
