This paper investigates how Wendell Berry`s idea of the Sabbath suggests an alternative way of ecological living by closely reading A Timbered Choir: The Sabbath Poems 1977-1997. The main idea of his Christian ecology such as God as the creator of the world and the continuous creation of the world constitutes the basis of his Sabbath ecology. Sabbath is not merely a day to rest or stop working, but also to experience the presence of God in one`s life and in His creation. Through this experience, Berry thinks, we can restore God as the Creator and the sacred into the secularized world, as well. In this new vision of Sabbath, he finds a way to get over the most harmful dichotomy between the soul and the body, the sacred and the profane, which has justified the industrial economy`s exploitation and contamination of nature. Berry proposes God`s economy or the Sabbath economy as an alternative whose first principle is to keep the creation healthy and whole.
