"No important change in ethics was ever accomplished without an internal change in our intellectual emphasis, loyalties, affections, and convictions. [...] In our attempt to make conservation easy, we have made it trivial." ― Aldo Leopold, The Land Ethic, A Sand County Almanac 🧡

@lizaadamczewski I’ve always thought of your work and Menno’s as fascinatingly beautifully connected, even tho you’re very different. The same love of the Earth and its creatures is so evident, and I see it as holy—and as answering the spiritual needs of our time. Thank you

Indigenous Catholics in New Mexico are reeling after an image of Christ as an Apache holy man was taken from a Mescalero mission. The church's pastor has fallen under suspicion of complicity in the removal.

The Radical Faith of Harriet Tubman

A new book conveys in dramatic detail what America’s Moses did to help abolish slavery. Another addresses the love of God and country that helped her do so.
