Integral ecology is a way of living that honours the interconnectedness at the heart of life on earth. It recognizes the profound web of relationships that shape human, ecological, social, economic, and spiritual realities, and calls us to approach every justice issue—especially climate change—with an attentiveness to this deeper wholeness and relationality. As a discernment lens, integral ecology invites both personal and collective transformation in how we understand and live our relationships with one another and with the earth.
This paper is authored by Dr. Sue Wilson, Executive Director of the Office for Systemic Justice and Co‑Chair of the ORCIE Board, and Dr. Darlene O’Leary, Coordinator of the Martha Justice Ministry and member of the ORCIE Board Executive Committee.
You are invited to explore the full paper for a deeper theological, ethical, and policy-oriented reflection on integral ecology in the Canadian context.
