For the first time, I will be sharing my annual Christmas letter not only via US Postal mail, but now, here, on my Walking Thoughts blog. "Are the meek getting ready? Everything in our day suggests that..." I hope you might consider reading it. hpaulsantmire.net/christmas-20

H. Paul Santmire · Christmas 2024: The Meek Are Getting Ready...Are the meek getting ready? Everything in our day suggests that, if they are, they’re going to have a tough time. Ours is the era of the rank suppression and dispersal of the meek by the Strong Men. The Christmas Gospel, in marked contrast, is about the emergent power of the meekest of all: the strange promise of a certain baby, born in a peasant’s stable, who would become a constant threat to all the Herods of this world...

Entering into my 90th year — I will be 89 at the end of this month — I'm pleased to share that my final book has been published. "The Earth and the Fullness Thereof: A Down-home Reader in Ecological Theology"

H. Paul SantmireThe Earth and the Fullness Thereof: A Down-Home Reader in Ecological TheologyWritten for those at the front lines of discipleship in this era of planetary emergency, especially for those who sometimes feel spiritually isolated or exhausted. This engaging first-person narrative will appeal both to faith-based ecoactivist of long standing and to those who are pondering this calling for the first time.

New post on my blog, Walking Thoughts: "Amerika?"
"In what respect, if at all or perhaps thoroughly, is America today becoming Amerika? My understanding of that word is my own, although Franz Kafka’s now famous use of it is in the back of my mind...The absurdity of it all! Is Amerika a word, perhaps the word, for our times?"

H. Paul Santmire · Amerika?Is Amerika our future, then, emerging now right before our very eyes? And, if so, has the time arrived for American Christians to find ways to be a Confessing Church, the way Dietrich Bonhoeffer and many other believers did in the Germany of the nineteen-thirties-and-forties of the last century?

"Why I wrote EcoActivist Testament," a >2 minute video. In this video you will see this octogenarian (me) worshiping with nature at our old farmhouse in the western mountains of Maine.

If you are a faith-driven #ecoactivist, I wrote this for you. If you are sometimes on the verge of despair, wondering "why bother!?" I wrote this for you.

There is a new episode of my conversation series, "Let's Talk!" available; I talked last summer with Prof Kiara Jorgenson of St. Olaf College. We discuss the expanding lives of students, intersectional justice, place-based vocation, panentheism, and more: youtu.be/-0SZnD3AWJ8

Last summer, my daughter made a >2 minute video of me explaining why I wrote my latest (last!) #book, EcoActivist Testament. This was before we were on #mastodon, so we didn't share it here. It features a typical day for me in the #mountains of western #Maine. I would be honored if you checked it out: youtu.be/VSeK0XqdtGc

Lutherans Restoring Creation is a grassroots movement promoting care for creation in the #EvangelicalLutheranChurchInAmerica (#ELCA). Some of you might be interested in these lectionary commentaries using the #RevisedCommonLectionary that "explore ways an eco-theological interpretation may be an integral part of a theologically sound, exegetically based, understanding of scripture and well-known Bible verses."
