Professor Celia Deane-Drummond, Director of the Laudato Si' Research Institute, recently appeared as a guest on the Christian Circle Podcast to discuss practical ways in which Catholics can integrate care for creation into their spiritual lives.

Professor Deane-Drummond addresses how environmental awareness can be rooted in a religious tradition, rather than in political ideology. 

The discussion focuses on reclaiming a spiritual and sacramental understanding of creation within the Catholic tradition, offering practical ways to live out the theology of creation in everyday environments. It explores how a eucharistic spirituality can shape our relationship with the natural world, considers the relationship between theology and evolution, and addresses how parishes can deepen their ecological spirituality beyond traditional environmental initiatives, among other topics.

The Christian Circle Podcast, hosted by Pamela Q. Fernandes, focuses on practical tips for everyday Christian living, and is aimed at a mixed Christian audience with content designed to be accessible to everyday believers.
