The Good Fire: Theology of Stewardship & Controlled Burning (with Peter Hess)

Peter Hess (Ph.D, FFT2) is a theologian, an environmental scientist, a wildland fire practitioner, and firefighter type two. I ask Peter about this work which is a collaboration of firefighters and indigenous communities, about the Catholic Theology, stewardship of the Earth, and Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudatus Si’. Peter Hess’s webpage at “Climate Abandoned.” Peter Hess’s book, Catholicism and Science (Greenwood, 2008). Laudatus Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical letter (2015). TERA website, the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance. ‘Firefighter Type 2’ explained at the National Wildfire Coordinating Group.
