The Good Fire
Theology of Stewardship & Controlled Burning
Summary
Peter Hess (Ph.D, FFT2) is a theologian, an environmental scientist, a wildland fire practitioner, and firefighter type two. I ask Peter about this work which is a collaboration of firefighters and indigenous communities, about the Catholic Theology, stewardship of the Earth, and Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudatus Si’.
- Peter Hess’s webpage at “Climate Abandoned.”
- Peter Hess’s book, Catholicism and Science (Greenwood, 2008).
- Laudatus Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical letter (2015).
- TERA website, the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance.
- ‘Firefighter Type 2’ explained at the National Wildfire Coordinating Group.
