Earth Care Champions: Grand Trees of Chatham
“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” - Psalm 96:11-12 I love the Psalmist’s vision of all creation, heaven and...
Earth Care Champions: Friends of the Lower Haw River State Natural Area

If I had a hammer…
On the eve of All Saints Day (a.k.a. ‘All Hallows Eve’ or ‘Halloween’) in 1517 an obscure German parish priest and professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg was busily rummaging through a carpenter’s tool box in search of a hammer. He had just finished...
So long ‘Eco-Justice’ & Hello ‘Creation Justice’
