EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Two, Number Two November/December 1992 READERS WRITE Dear NACCE, Thanks just for being there. Sometimes I feel so very alone here because I live a much more austere life than my peers by education and interests. I work for comfortable, conservative professionals who want no end to the no-limits to growth philosophy and who bully or mock my different views - and they call themselves Christian! You could not change my society's direction too soon, from my viewpoint. Cynthia Denton, Frankfort IN More on the Society of St. Andrews Potato Project Dear Editor, The Potato Project receives surplus potatoes and makes them available to hungry people. I have received several huge truckloads of those potatoes and distributed them across Missouri. Society of St. Andrew, working with United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), has also collected 44 tons of rice for shipment to Russia. Right now I am headed for Russia for UMCOR to work with the Russian Orthodox Church in development ministries. Now that they have freedom and see the huge social needs of Russia they want to move into action but do not know how. Mel West, Columbia MO United Methodist Rural Fellowship Dear NACCE Friends, Here is a poem from my collection: EUCHARIST (inspired by Albert LaChance) God invites us through the planet, "Take, eat, this is my body": The sun is eaten by the plants which the primal eaters munch. They in turn feed the carnivores; Omnivores eat plants and flesh. The whole Earth keeps eating sunlight; All creatures feast on the Earth. William J. Wood, S.J. Santa Clara CA Pres.
