Jim Blackburn has continually examined his views on the relationship between spirituality and nature. The ideas expressed in his recent book of poems, Earth Church, form the direction of his environmental work today. He seeks kinship between spirituality and robust efforts to save our environment. Dominion over nature can no longer be our goal, harmony is needed
Jim recently talked to parishioners of Houston's Christ Church Cathedral about Earth Church and his recent collaborations with artist Isabelle Scurry Chapman. He read some poetry from the recent book, and was well received even here in the oil capital of the world.
