Jim Scott, author of Gather the Spirit and other beloved songs, intersperses original songs and readings with his personal reflections on a spiritual ecological awareness. The idea of Mother Earth or “Gaia” being a living organism with the same physical attributes (heart, lungs, circulatory system) as humans leads us to a deeper connection with our life support system.

Jim helped create the “Green Sanctuary” program now undertaken by many His “Earth and Spirit Songbook,” supported by a grant from the Fund for Unitarian Universalism, is becoming widely acclaimed by UU congregations.
