Speaker
Description
Using a decolonial approach, this presentation argues that a Christian multidirectional eco-theological perspective is crucial in the interreligious public voice on the role of religion in shaping the ethics of sustainability and the formation of interfaith eco-habituation oriented toward embodied eco-healing. It offers an Indonesian Christian multidirectional eco-text of embodied healing, embedded in Christian, blue, intercultural, and ecofeminist theological perspectives that connect and respond to the interlinked questions of faith, trauma, the sea, and healing in relation to sustainability and eco-habituation. Intersecting a personal story of the sea with Christian rhetoric of healing, a story of interreligious eco-collaboration, women’s narratives of eco-trauma, and an Indonesian Indigenous healing practice for the sea, this presentation proposes a multidirectional eco-text as a source for interreligious public discourse on embodied eco-healing.
