Contents:
Introduction: the global water crisis and the need for an integral water ethic -- An integral ecological approach to water -- Christianity, baptism, and sacramental consciousness of water -- Hinduism, the Yamuna River, and loving service of water -- Buddhism, Bodhisattvas, and compassionate wisdom of water -- Contemplative practices for cultivating an integral water ethic -- Conclusion: loving water and all beings.
Summary: "McAnally presents an academically rigorous, spiritually rich approach to the myriad global issues related to water. The author draws from Christianity's sacramental consciousness of baptism, loving service of the Yamuna River in Hinduism, and the compassionate wisdom of the bodhisattva to develop 'an integral approach to water ethics.' Building on but distinct from the foundation laid by Christiana Zenner's Just Water, this book is a welcome addition to the growing field of concern surrounding global water crises"-- Provided by publisher.
