I would like to believe when I die that I have given myself away like a tree that sows seeds every spring and never counts the loss, because it is not loss, it is adding to future life. Read more →
A few shovel fulls
of earth

Dark brown as only

We are excited to launch a brand new website! All of the wonderful resources that were on the old site are still here, but now you can find and share them more easily. Plus, we think the design and graphics are much prettier and engaging. We have done a lot of work behind the scenes too, which will help us offer more resources and ways to be in community with each other.
As with any launch, we may have missed a few things and are still working on some areas. We ask for your patience and hope you’ll give us feedback—what you love about the site, broken pages you find, and suggestions for how we can make it even better.
This space is our building, our gathering place. May we grow in it together.

By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down, and we wept when we remembered Zion. In the midst of it all we hung our harps upon the willows. They that carried us away captive required of us a song. They wanted us to sing of joy. “Sing to us,” they demanded, “one of the songs of Zion.” But how shall we sing the Lord’s song in this strange land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. If I do not remember you, if I do not hold Jerusalem as my chief joy, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth.— Psalm 137: 1-6

In August, 1978 I chaired a week-long seminar on planetary survival issues. College professors and administrators had prepared papers to deliver on themes ranging from the water crisis to environmental effects of nuclear technology.
As we convened, I took time to acknowledge that the topic we were addressing was different from any other, that it touched each of us in a profoundly personal way. I suggested that we introduce ourselves by sharing an incident or image of how it had touched us.
