RIP Walter Brueggemann 1933-2025
“The prophetic tasks of the church are to
tell the truth
in a society that lives in illusion,
grieve
in a society that practices denial,
and express hope
in a society that lives in despair”

Walter Brueggemann (1933-2025) was a towering figure in biblical scholarship, a gifted preacher, a kind and generous soul, a gregarious character with an easy laugh…and a friend. He will be missed immensely.
Thank you for everything, Walter. Rest in peace.

It's the birthday of American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921). He wrote about the nature he found in his beloved Catskill mountains of New York; birds, hills, squirrels (even cows), the ordinary nature most of us encounter every day. We're drawn to spectacular vistas, but live in the ordinary.

It's the birthday of Ansel Adams (1902-1984). In a letter on 10/7/60, he wrote: "We either have wild places or we don't. We admit the spiritual-emotional validity of wild beautiful places, or we don't." Write your representatives & ask they keep public lands open for us not corporations #photography
