Very close to "all hallows" celebrations we looked at Pagan Ethics and some related Ecotheology (theology with an environmental focus). The presentation was by a Texan who was a Christian but has spent considerable time researching Paganism.
Interesting to see that the focus is really on the individual experience although group is often important. Also that the theology often is developed from the practise/action. The example of the greatest recent influence was in the road protesters in the mid 80's - I personally think the reason for the decrease in road building was more to do with the reduced spending rather than the ecological issue. An intersting question came up - was earth created for humans or could it exist without us?
