Environmental groups speak on those issues too. It’s what they do best, but what they haven’t done is seek closer ties with others. A Sept. 21 meeting in Washington brought together close to 50 people from the religious, environmental and academic fields as part of “a more conscious effort at rallying ourselves together,” according to Walt Grazer, director of the environmental justice program for the U.S. bishops’ Department of Social Development and World Peace. Grazer and the Rev. Sally Bingham, an Episcopal priest at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, jointly moderated the session. The religion-environmental link is “relatively new,” Grazer said. “This discussion is propitious.” He added, “This resurgence of religion and the environment is a good thing. ... The potential is enormous, and that’s a good thing.” Several people at the forum pointed to the Catholic Church in the United States as leading the way in the effort. Many said they took inspiration from the U.S. bishops’ 2001 statement on climate change, “Global Climate Change: Students from St. Mary of the Woods grade school in Whitesville, Kentucky vis- November 18, 2006 ited Mount Saint Joseph in Maple Mount for an environmental learning day Octo- Christ the King Parish, Madisonville, KY ber 6.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Today, the first day of October, I would like to reflect on two aspects that characterize this month in the ecclesial community: the praying of the rosary and commitment to the missions. Next Saturday, Oct. 7, we celebrate the feast of the Virgin of the Rosary; it is as if every year Our Lady invited us to rediscover the beauty of this prayer, so simple and profound. Our beloved Pope John Paul II was a great apostle of the rosary: We remember him kneeling with the beads in his hands, immersed in the contemplation of Christ, as he himself invited us to do with the Apostolic Letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae." The rosary is a contemplative and christocentric prayer, inseparable from the meditation of sacred Scripture.
