THE GREENING OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The triumphant voices from the left on The Bishops and Deputies listserve echo the prophecy made by committed Marxist Charles Reich, right after the Woodstock gathering in 1969, in his blockbuster bestseller "The Greening of America", dedicated in memory of Karl Marx, and published in 1970.

He wrote: "There is a revolution coming. It will not be like revolutions of the past. It will originate with the individual and with culture, and it will change the political structure only as its final act. It will not require violence to succeed, and it cannot be successfully resisted by violence."

It is now spreading with amazing rapidity, and already our laws, institutions and social structure are changing in consequence. It promises a higher reason, a more human community, and a new and liberated individual. Its ultimate creation will be a new and enduring wholeness and beauty -- a renewed relationship of man to himself, to other men, to society, to nature, and to the land.
