Michael Dowd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rev. Michael Dowd is an itinerant "evolutionary evangelist" and the author of the 1991 book "EarthSpirit: A Handbook for Nurturing an Ecological Christianity" (Twenty-Third Publications, ISBN 0-89622-479-1), which was inspired by the writings of cultural historian Thomas Berry, physicist Brian Swimme, and deep ecologist Joanna Macy, and the forthcoming "Thank God for Evolution! How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World" (Tulsa: Council Oak Books, 2007)
During the 1980s and 90s, Michael pastored three United Church of Christ congregations, worked with Unitarian Universalist, Jewish, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical leaders across America on environmental, peace, and justice issues, and managed government-funded Sustainable Lifestyle Campaigns on both coasts.
Michael and his wife Connie Barlow, an author of popular science books, live permanently "on the road", teaching and preaching what they call "the marriage of science and religion for personal and planetary well-being" in churches and living rooms as well as in public and private schools all across North America. Their Great Story website is a resource in sustainability, the epic of evolution, deep ecology, and evolutionary spirituality movements.
