Paper long abstract:
In the Encyclical letter Laudato Sì, Pope Francis states: “We come together to take charge of this home which has been entrusted to us”, adding that the Creation could be saved from destruction through unity only. In the last years the Encyclical in addition to opening an incisive social, theological, and political debate about the environment, it has also provoked the reaction of other religious leaders and encouraged religious community to promote actions in defense of “Creation”. Beyond the official and institutional actions - such as the signature of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together or the G20 Interfaith Forum – this call for unity has opened a period of innovative religious spaces and rituals to promote sustainable lifestyles. This presentation aims to explore some of these practices focusing how the call forth planet’s salvation carried out new faith-based practices from two different levels: a new interreligious dialogue and a new adaptation of technology.
