St. Francis and the Climate Apocalypse July 23, 2021 Philip Jenkins It would be hard to find a more universally popular figure than Francis of Assisi. Christians and non-Christians alike commonly recall him as a wonderful figure of holiness, fully in tune with the animal kingdom, and the environment.

A Ford technician near me stares into the depths of the Everests bonnet, his eyes switching from side to side with cool concentration, and hes listening intently, but to what and to whom? He appears alone, yet his hands are being instructed by another voice and another set of eyes. The sequence of repairs happening before us at Fords Training Centre in Silverton are all extremely normal on the surface yet strange and unfamiliar at the same time.
