[16] That same year, Tucker co-organized a conference titled "Thomas Berry and the 'Great Work'" at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University.
[20] After the conferences, she and Grim founded the Forum on Religion and Ecology at a culminating event at the United Nations and American Museum of Natural History in 1998, which featured such notables as Maurice Strong, Bill Moyers, Tim Wirth, and Tu Weiming.
[22] The Forum is inherently interdisciplinary and acknowledges that the world's religions must engage with other key disciplines (e.g., public policy, science, education, economics) in order to find answers to contemporary environmental challenges.
Today there are courses taught at colleges and secondary schools across North America, Europe, and Australia, and a surge of religious environmentalism has emerged globally in churches, temples, synagogues, and mosques.
[27][28] With evolutionary philosopher Brian Thomas Swimme, Mary Evelyn Tucker created Journey of the Universe, a multi-media project that carries forward much of Berry's work.
[29] The project includes the Journey of the Universe film, which won a Northern California Emmy Award for "Outstanding Achievement: Documentary" and aired on PBS stations across the U.S. for three years.
[30][31] The Journey film was directed by David Kennard (one of the directors and senior producers of Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Jacob Bronowski's Ascent of Man) and Patsy Northcutt.
[43] She currently serves on the advisory boards of Orion magazine,[44] the Garrison Institute,[45] Woodwell Climate Research Center, and Green Belt Movement U.S., dedicated to the work and legacy of Wangari Maathai.
[3] Additionally, she currently sits on the Advisory Committee for Global Earth Optimism, Smithsonian Institution[48] and is a member of the Standing Commission on Nurturing a Sustainable Environment, Religions for Peace.
