Faced with ecological degradation in parts of the world, a number of writers have begun to see companionship or even friendship with nature as a way of revisioning our relationship with the natural world. This is not an effort to treat animals or plants in a sentimental or overly romantic way. Rather, it is in part an effort to discover new theological bases to express the proper relationship between humans, animals, or trees.
— Neil Vaney, Christ in a Grain of Sand, p. 109
