This issue seeks to examine the extent to which Polish scholars have drawn on the inspiration of this vital papal document in promoting responsibility for the world and in fostering ecological awareness. Research in this area may contribute to more prudent and thoughtful approaches to caring for our common home. We therefore encourage engagement with papal teaching and with media education that foregrounds the language of ecology and justice. We welcome contributions that explore, on the one hand, issues such as care for small-scale sacred architecture and responsible public discourse, and, on the other, the relationship between respect for nature and respect for the human person.
