As summer approaches, we feel the desire to rest and renew, to draw in breaths of fresh air, to center ourselves and reconnect with God. To move us into that reflective place, we bring you an excerpt from Nancy Roth’s newest book, Grounded in Love, and a reflection by Clare Brauer-Rieke on I Thessalonians 5:16-19. Turan Kayaoglu offers praise for Christian churches providing shelter to Muslim communities in need of sacred places to pray. Marcus Borg reminds us to work for justice in the here and now. Lastly, Jessie Dye brings us an exclusive “behind the scenes” recap of how our Coal-Free Future for Washington bill became a law. We hope that this issue of Earth Letter refreshes and inspires you.
