This essay explores how spirituality and the climate issue can relate to each other. This is done by analyzing pneumatology in two Christian traditions, feministic and Eastern. These are broad and extensive areas therefore a restriction has been necessary. The demarcation resulted in two theologians, one from each tradition. From the feministic tradition, the choice fell on Anne Claar Thomasson-Rosingh and her work Searching for the Holy Spirit: Feminist Theology and Traditional Doctrine. From the Eastern Church tradition, John D. Zizioulas and his work Communion & Otherness were chosen. Further Studies in Personhood and the Church. The question for the essay is: -What impact can the view of the Spirit and creation have on the role of human beings in responsibility for creation? The answer to the question is that there is a connection between how views on the Holy Spirit and creation can affect the role of human responsibility. When human beings become trapped in selfishness by asserting their own right before communion and turning away from both the self and creation, an avertedness arises. This is something both Thomasson-Rosingh and Zizioulas pay attention to. Keywords: pneumatology, spirituality, Eastern Church, feminism, creation, Anne Claar Thomasson-Rosingh and Johns D. Zizioulas.
