Religious Resurgence, Human Survival, and Global Religious Social Work

摘要

Global survival is arguably the most significant ecobiopsychosocial-spiritual issue of our era. It will require historically new levels of cooperation between the world's religions, corporations, and nations to bring about a quality postsurvival era. The current religious resurgence has given religion the potential to be a key partner in the cooperative effort to ensure global survival and a postsurvival quality world. Social work, with its ecological perspective, is specially qualified to work with religions toward these goals. Several principles are available to do this, and in particular the use of spirituality can be a conceptual bridge to bring about cooperation between the several entities involved in this process.
