Golden Rule and Ecology

The Sacred Balance: An Interfaith Perspective

Some observers claim that the key principle underlying the Golden Rule is the unity and interconnectedness of all things. When we study the ecological teachings of the great religions, we find that most of them have much to say about unity and interconnectedness. Learn what eight different religious traditions have to say about our relationship to the environment:

• Buddhist
• Islamic
• Aboriginal
• Hindu
• Bahá’í
• Jain
• Jewish
• Unitarian

These ecological reflections are excerpted from the April 2004 issue of the Scarboro Missions Magazine “Renewing the Sacred Balance”.
