Nancy Roth is a writer, dancer, and Episcopal priest who draws on music, movement, and theology to help others discover the integration of body and soul. She is the author of many books including An Invitation to Christian Yoga. In this delightful paperback, Roth presents the practice of "organic prayer" which enriches our contemplation of God and our attempts to live in harmony with the good earth. The chapter heads and some of the topics covered are:
In each chapter, the author includes a section called "Spadework" consisting of down-to-earth prayer exercises. We liked the ones on prayer rocks, walking meditation, communing with a tree, eating meditation, working with the weather, and making a pilgrimage in the place where you live. Here is an exercise to honor species:
"Include other species in your prayers. You may pray especially for the particular species you have chosen to observe and study, whether they be the denizens of a rainforest or animals who live near you or with you.
"You may especially wish to include some endangered species in your intercessions. Pray for them just as you pray for members of the human family who are in need. One way to do this is silently to 'hold before God' the creatures for whom you are praying. Or you may repeat their names, like a litany: 'Creator God, protect and preserve the spotted owl, the humpback whale, the timber wolf, the peregrine falcon, the rhinoceros, the whooping crane, the tiger, the gorilla, the manatee.
"In penitence and sorrow, on behalf of the human family, hold before God those species who are extinct, especially on account of human destructiveness."

Nancy Roth's proposal for an eleventh commandment to protect the earth and a visualization of the future.
A Book Excerpt on Imagination
Spadework
"Do you think there is a need for an 'eleventh commandment' to protect the earth and everything that lives upon it? Do you think that such a commandment would suggest that we must include our behavior toward creation in our personal and institutional ethical codes?
"What are some of the ways humanity has broken the eleventh commandment? How has our species despoiled the earth and destroyed life?
"What are some of the ways we can respond to this new commandment through actions that contribute to the fullness of God's creation?
"Take some time to become quiet and relaxed.
"Then think of a child whom you care about: your own child, grandchild, or a young friend. Try to see her in your mind's eye and to hear her voice. Picture her in her daily activities — school, play, meals, sleep. Picture her surroundings. What memories do you have of your friendship with this child? How does thinking about her make you feel?
"Take some time to hold before God in prayer this child whom you love.
"Now, in your imagination picture the child thirty or forty years hence, in adulthood, possibly with children of her own. What will their world be like? Will their surroundings — their home, their office, their school be pleasant and safe? Will their air be clear? Will the water they drink be healthy for them? Will they be protected from the sun's rays? Will they be able to experience the wilderness? Will all the animal species of your day still share the planet with them? Picture the world you would like to see them live in.
"Take some time to hold your concerns and hopes in prayer.
"Finally, picture the child as an old man or woman, seventy or eighty years hence, with children and grandchildren. Again try to visualize the community in which they are living, and the state of air, water, and safety. Will there be wilderness areas? Will all the plant and animal species we know still exist?
"Hold your concerns and hopes in prayer.
"End by thanking God for the gifts of love and imagination, which enable you to remember the kinship and interdependence of all creatures, present and future."
