For Each Other
This week, Rev. Lee introduces us to a favorite poem by Wendell Berry, which calls for people to care for the Earth in such a way that future generations will benefit. She shares that it’s hard to feel youthful optimism these days, when it feels like we are fighting the same battles over and over again. But what if we are still growing and changing through these battles – and for the better, at that?
