In the blogodrome

I always find it interesting to discover what non-Christians think of the Christian community. It challenges me to focus on loving other people in a quiet way (1 Thessalonians 4:11). So, when I ran across this post from a blog I often read on ecology, I was intrigued. I think it's a shame Christians don't lead out more on issues of conservationism, and so the essay by Wendell Berry mentioned in the comments was also thought provoking. In short, I think it's a good idea to read things that you may not agree in order to not only stretch your perspective but also to see how others perceive you as a check on how effectively we're communicating the things we believe and value.
