Our method for ecumenical listening to the indigenous Voice in 2019 & 2020 is also summarised below. The perception of indigenous peoples is especially valuable for understanding the model of kinship with creation that is also expounded and explored in Laudato Si.


The US Bishops recently (Australia Day 2021) released a major guidebook for informing inter-religious and ecumenical dialogue re Laudato Si and some of the Catholic tradition regarding Care for Our Common Home. The guidebook is found at https://creation.cadeio.org/ecumenical-and-interreligious-guidebook-care-for-our-common-home/ and also contains some practical suggestions for Catholic parishes and schools.
