abstract note	One way in which to abate environmental degradation is to transform human behavior. The systemic nature and spiritual dimensions of that process are poorly understood. The objective of this study is to explore the role of spirituality in the systemic transformation of individuals and communities into better environmental stewards who practice sustainable development. Using systems concepts and tehological data, the author develops a model of one example of this transformative process as delineated in the Bahá'í writings. The model is then compared to similar models to develop a more comprehensive framework for udnerstanding the spiritually-inspired transformation of environmental stewardship and development practice.
