Religion, Science & the Environment (RSE) is a non-governmental organization created in 1993, which seeks to provide common ground among the worlds of religion, science and the environment in the interest of protecting the environment. Under the guidance of His All Holiness Bartholomew, Ecumenical Patriarch of the Christian Orthodox Church, this mission has been addressed by holding seven water-based symposia as well as creating the Halki Ecological Institute and other training initiatives. The Adriatic Symposium, which took place between the 5th and the 11th of June 2002, addressed the ethical aspects of the environmental crisis. The environment is not just an object of study or an area of managerial concern. It is a space where millions of people live and share the responsibility of an extraordinary heritage. The need to cultivate a set of ecological values and foster the emergence of the ecological consciousness of humanity is becoming more and more urgent. In the course of the symposium, religious leaders, and participants were asked to propose ideas as to how religion can inspire humanity towards an ecological ethos. Special attention was paid to the environmental problems of the Adriatic Sea. The six countries of the Adriatic range from a wealthy Member State of the EU to some of the poorest countries in Europe; from the problems of an advanced industrial economy to those in transition and recovery from recent wars. At the head of the Adriatic lie Ravenna and Venice, potent symbols of human culture and achievements, now threatened by human arrogance and an inability to organise a coherent defence of the ecosystems we have disrupted. This was the fourth semposium organised by the R.S.E. and this book contains contributions from the symposium and thext of the common declaration. it sets out new approaches to uniting scientific, environmental and religious perspectives.
