Learning the Language of Creation

Join us for the launch of Sister Damien Marie Savino’s book Learning the Language of Creation: Catholic Social Teaching and Integral Ecology, the fifth volume in the institute’s Enacting Catholic Social Tradition series.

In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.
