Unsung Holiday: Earth Day

…ach, whether our dorm, or balcony, or backyard? What might it look like to practice this stewardship in our little corner of the world? This is, in effect, a call to be a gardener. But this noble work was, after all, our first job: to “serve” and “exercise great care over” the garden (Gen 2:15). As Berry writes elsewhere, “the care of the earth is our most ancient and most worth and, after all, our most pleasing responsibility.”1 Should it be a su…
