Thomas Berry’s Vision for the Earth Community

About This Event

Speaker: Mary Evelyn Tucker 

Thomas Berry was a historian of both western and Asian cultures who created a unique history of religions program at Fordham University. After decades of study, Berry developed a comprehensive understanding of history - human, Earth and universe. From this perspective he offered a comprehensive context for revisioning education in a time of ecological and climate challenges.
