20212223In preparation for our regular cohort gathering this coming Tuesday, 27 Nov 2007, we invite you to listen in on a few conversations about sustainability and faith:
There is so much good writing available on the subject. We encourage you to bring a book to share with the group. Peggy Barlett references David Korten who has written several compelling books on the subject, specifically as it relates to the economics of sustainability. Who can ignore the copious contributions of Wendell Berry? Brian McLaren's newest title, Everything Must Change, considers the message of Jesus as it relates to sustainability as well. But these are just a few. We look forward to discovering who has resonated with you individually.
As you listen and read, here are two questions to ponder:
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God... [as one] groaning in labor pains until now.
- Barbara Kingsolver on the ethics of eating
- Majora Carter and Calvin Dewitt on reimaging environmentalism
- 2004 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Wanjari Maathai on planting the future

In what ways might sustainability be an apt metaphor for life?
