EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Eight, Number Two January/February 1999 REVELATION OF THE MOUNTAINS To say that creation is revelation means that the splendor of the Appalachian mountains ö   their valleys and coves,   their ridges and hollows,   their skies and forests,   their rocks and soils,   their rivers and streams and springs,   their plants and animals ö all show us God's glory, all tell us of God's beauteous presence. . . . . . To dwell within these mountains is to experience   in their height, God's majesty,   in their weight, God's strength   in their hollows, God's embrace,   in their waters, God's cleansing,   in their haze, God's mystery. These mountains are truly a holy place. From At Home in the Web of Life, by the Catholic Bishops of Appalachia, Webster Springs WV 26288 Home     Table of Contents
