Artykuł zawiera odpowiedź na pytanie, dlaczego ekologia jest także zagadnieniem teologicznym. Bazą źródłową tych dociekań są dokumenty Światowej Rady Kościołów. Ekologia jest jednym z zagadnień teologicznych, o ile wywodzi się rozważania nad nią z antropologii teologicznej, w której człowiek jest postrzegany jako współpracownik Boga w dziele stworzenia ponoszący odpowiedzialność moralną za zachowanie integralności stworzenia. Dokumenty Światowej Rady Kościołów zawierają wiele pogłębionych analiz na temat istotnych zagrożeń ekologicznych dla Ziemi jako habitatu człowieka. Programy studiów wdrożone przez różne komisje i zespoły ŚRK wypracowują stanowisko Kościołów w niej zrzeszonych na podstawie założeń antropologii teologicznej.

The article aims to answer the question why ecology is also a theological question. The source of these inquiries are the documents of the World Council of Churches (WCC). Ecology is one of the theological issues, as long as the deliberations of the subject are based on theological anthropology, in which man is perceived as a collaborator of God in the deed of creation and as someone bearing moral responsibility for preserving the integrity of creation. Documents of the WCC contain deepen analyses of the considerable ecological threats facing the Earth as human habitat. On the basis of theological anthropology various WCC teams and commissions elaborate the position of the member Churches by means of many programs of studies.
