Q1. Mr. Berry, you constantly refer in your article to the ideal of combining the religious with the scientific approach. At the same time, it is quite obvious that none of the two approaches is willing to focus on the role of the Earth and of nature in everyday existence: on one hand, Christianity (and most monotheistic religions) is concerned with redemption, as you have pointed out and, from that perspective, the focus is not on this life, but on the afterlife.

Pinochet's Case is Not Yet Satisfying to Chilean and Human Rights Activists Although hampered by internal constraints and challenges, the nation of Chile stands poised to enter the 21st century as a major player in the world's international community. On the one hand, the sound economic policies that were first implemented by the Pinochet dictatorship resulted in unprecedented growth in 1991- 1997; these policies have also helped secure the country's
It also appeals to conservatives who are interested in charity-based social supports, and wish to see individuals and communities, rather than the state, providing solutions to persistent problems such as poverty or social exclusion. It also holds appeal for neo-liberal states that seek to bolster social engagement without addressing structural issues such as changes in employment forms and decreases in social service expenditure (Bezanson,2006)."
