Summary/Abstract: Nowadays a lot of surveys show that our Earth is in serious crisis. The ground, air and waters are in very polluted and bad condition almost everywhere. The cause of this is the economic and financial competition, which started in the age of the industrial revolution. Above all the human thinking has gone through a crisis. So according to many Christian churches and theologians, solution can occur just in spiritual way. The World Council of Churches worked out an ecumenical spiritual programme to remedy the situation, which got a happy remark: AGAPE (Alternative Globalization Addressing Peoples and Earth). My article would like to demonstrate the present condition of the Earth and this spiritual action plan in complex way.
