We begin this issue with a provocative sermon by Rick Ufford-Chase illumined by his long experiences with migrant worker immigration issues. In Goings-On we highlight the many actions that Earth Ministry has taken since our Autumn issue. Earth Ministry’s Board Chairman reviews our financial picture, and makes a suggestion for the coming year. The Saint Francis Sermon Contest participants are highlighted, and the winners (Rev. Anne Hall and Elizabeth Freese) share their sermons with us. Lastly, Jessie Dye presents the Washington State Environmental Priorities Coalition goals for 2010.
