Nature and Orthodox Christianity

Back in March, I delivered a talk at the Temenos Academy in London. It was an enquiry into the different ways in which the natural world is perceived by Eastern and Western Christian traditions. What, I wondered, can the West learn from the East, as the seas fill with plastic and the climate changes? And how should Christians relate to all things wild and green?
