By Marc Christensen

I was captivated by this scene. First, the color of the mountains, the turbulent sky and the sheer beauty caught my eye. Next, for me, it implies a vastness to be explored...there's a gravel road or path leading off around a bend next to railroad tracks. Where do these lead?

Repairing the Earth - Part I

By Michael Kroth • April 20, 2026
Earth Day is this week. As we consider the state of our world - and the ecology of both our material and spiritual environment - it makes sense to ask what our role is, has been, and is supposed to be in relationship to "our common home" (Pope Francis).
