  • Description: In this paper, I argue that social justice cannot be fully realized without affirming its intrinsic ties to environmental justice, and further that these ties point toward a ‘decological praxis.‘ Decological praxis is a truncation of decolonial ecological pedagogy. It is a praxis that I am crafting and one which I propose that those concerned with justice-oriented theological education can have in common, as it offers possibilities to partake in a progressively shared intersectional decolonial theological methodology. It is decolonial because this is a practice focused in training the mind to emancipate oneself, the other and nature from long-standing hierarchical patterns of power reproducing colonial modes of relationships. I propose that we use decological praxis as the orienting principle to teach, research and learn from each other's experiences of social and environmental injustice. I conclude by proposing that this praxis may result in a culture of decoloniality, which brings into light the need to investigate the effects of coloniality in our own, temporal and local, lived experiences and to do so via a process of deliberate self-reflexivity. Key words: Environmental Justice, Ecofeminism, Theology, Coloniality, Decolonial Pedagogical Praxis.
