Abstract

In the encyclical Laudato Si, Pope Francis reflects on the global ecological crisis, and calls for a new, fully inclusive dialogue on the future of "our common home." The conference paper brings Laudato Si into conversation with Dietrich Bonhoeffer and, as such, 1) with a theology that grounds human existence in God's transcendent otherness; 2) an inclusive Christology which places Christ at the centre of every human life; and 3) an ethic of responsibility which leaves Christians fully exposed to the consequences of their actions.
