520    Care for the environment is an ever more pressing concern 
       in today's world in which narrow self-interest has blinded
       us to the growing pollution of atmosphere and seas and the
       destruction of animal species caused by our indifference 
       and neglect. Christianity has been blamed in part for this
       because of a misunderstanding of the Biblical call to 
       "have dominion" over creation. Our spiritual tradition has
       indeed so focused on human salvation that the Earth has 
       been seen simply as a transient environment that will be 
       left behind in the end In response, this book highlights 
       another spiritual tradition within Western Christianity 
       that affirms that creation itself will also be transformed
       with humanity through the self-emptying love of God. God's
       dominion, after all, is service rather than despotic 
       control, the raising up of the lowly of this Earth and of 
       the Earth itself as part of a cosmic community. The 
       Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are examined in this 
       light as a call not only to join Christ in redeeming 
       humanity, but also in extending Christ's care and love to 
       "all creation" that longs "for the freedom of the children
       of God."
