"Our first responsibility is not to build the Church or even to get souls saved--it is to represent Christ and to bring His message to the world.

"We shall never understand the natural environment until we see it as a living organism. Land can be healthy or sick, fertile or barren, rich or poor, lovingly nurtured or bled white.

You can leave the corpse for all to see and nobody calls the cops." »Paul Brooks, The Pursuit of Wilderness (1971)

Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others." »M Scott Peck
