Paradise of Fools

Celebrating Earth Day this week gives us a chance to reflect on how good we’ve had it, living in a place of abundant beauty and natural resources. But 55 years after Earth Day was first created, there are those in power making choices that endanger our planet; have we humans lived for too long in comfort and blissful ignorance of the climate crisis? Do we really need catastrophic disruption to the environment to realize how fragile our existence is on this earth? Have we been living in a paradise of fools? Rev. Dr. Gaye Morris invites us to be clear-eyed about the real possibility of “Paradise Lost” and how we might, with Easter hope, work to pull back from the brink.
