The environment is threatened by among other things, human activity. With the adverse effects of climate change experienced the world over it has become evident that the environment has limits in its capacity to sustain human beings. The earth indeed is groaning. To avoid further negative effects on people, there is need to properly manage the environment. This can be achieved from different perspectives. One such perspective is religious. It is human beings however who are capable of being religious. The environment as such can not be religious. At best it can be indifferent. Human beings are the ones who ascribe religiosity into the environment. Consequently they behave in ways that can either destroy or manage the environment. Furthermore, human activity is often informed by how human beings understand reality. That is their worldview, their awareness. Religion in general and the Church in particular determine peoples’ worldviews. In so doing, the positive aspects of religion can be harnessed to manage the environment."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderTraditional African ReligionChristian awarenessChristianity and Environmental ManagementEcologyReligious ConceptualReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsEnvironmental ethicsResources ethicsIntercultural and contextual theologiesArticle
