Michael Dowd is an itinerant "evolutionary evangelist" and the author of Thank God for Evolution! How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World (Tulsa: Council Oak Books, Nov: 2007). His previous book, written in 1991, was EarthSpirit: A Handbook for Nurturing an Ecological Christianity (Twenty-Third Publications, ISBN 0-89622-479-1). It was inspired by the writings of cultural historian Thomas Berry, physicist Brian Swimme, and deep ecologist Joanna Macy. During the 1980s and 90s, Michael pastored three United Church of Christ congregations, worked with Unitarian Universalist, Jewish, Roman Catholic, Protestant, New Thought and Evangelical leaders across America on environmental, peace, and justice issues, and he managed government-funded Sustainable Lifestyle Campaigns on both coasts.
Since April 2002, Dowd and his wife Connie Barlow, an author of popular science books, have lived entirely "on the road," teaching and preaching what they call "the marriage of science and religion for personal and planetary well-being" in churches and living rooms as well as in public and private schools all across North America. Their Great Story website is a resource in sustainability, the epic of evolution, deep ecology, and evolutionary spirituality movements. Dowd's Thank God for Evolution website was launched in the summer of 2007 to support his book.
