Abstract:
The publication of ‘The Limits of Growth’ (cf. Meadows et al. 1972) by a research team
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972, caused a worldwide reaction.
In theological circles it generated a new branch, that of ecological theology. Years
of exploration and abuse of the earth are leading to an ecological crisis that has to
be addressed by us. Solutions and suggestions on how to meet the crisis are to be
provided by the church as well. This world is the only world we have and
has to be cared for. As contextual theology and branch of ecological
theology, the discipline of Ecodomy reflects on the way believers are to react to
this crisis.
