To help mitigate ecological crisis (spiritual wound), the author draws from the ecological insights in Laudato si’ and African thought. First, the author claims that concern for ecological life is an intergenerational loan to be forever serviced. Second, he shows how nurturing quality intergenerational relationships fosters healing strategies and ecospiritual commitments to our common home. Third, he argues for an attitude of ecospirituality in its integral, interconnecting role by appreciating sacredness in every creation, as no created entity is lifeless in Bantu African ecological bioethics. The author advocates for intimacy between humans and the ecosystem with a concrete enactment of LS’s ecotheology among Bantu Africans of Uganda at Bethany Land Institute. The paper offers ecotheological bioethics as a school of the heart. Thus, an ecological conversion (spiritual healing) is implied because the “tears of the wounded things” touch everyone’s heart, so that all respect the livingness in every entity.
