“Spiritually, trees play a unique role in the Jewish and Christian scriptures, from the Garden of Eden to the Cross of Christ. Biologically, in great forest communities, they help sustain life on our planet, giving off oxygen, anchoring soil, keeping stream and rivers clear, and providing habitation for thousands of species. How can religious persons not care about the widespread destruction of these creatures of God? We need to love them as our very selves, as neighbors in earth's community of life.” NeedsGivingPersonsSelfPlayHelpingCareEarthChristianChristCommunityReligiousRolesClearTreePlanetsCreaturesUniqueGardenRiversCrossesDestructionSpeciesNeighborScriptureForestsStreamsSoilProvidingOxygenOur PlanetEdenGarden Of EdenReligious Person Author:Elizabeth A.
