| Summary: | The Catholic Committee of Appalachia’s people’s pastoral, The Telling Takes Us Home, was not intended as a response to the pope’s encyclical Laudato Si’. While it was published only eight months after the encyclical, its planning began as early is 2011.

This essay summarizes the work and the content of The Telling Takes Us Home and links it with the major themes of Laudato Si’. |
