Rev. Dr. W. Benjamin Boswell |   1 Kings 17:8-24 “The healing of our bodies and souls is tied up with the healing of the Earth and the poor. If we seek our healing without the rivers and ravens, widows and orphans, then our healing becomes another idol that lets us feel quenched and full while the world dies of thirst and hunger. The path to healing begins by shaking off the empire, venturing into the wilderness, and entering into solidarity with the land and the creatures who live upon it.”“We’re not going to get out of this moral, spiritual, and ecological drought doing the same things we’ve always done. We have to come to grips with the fact that our healing resides in the wilderness and our path to new life can only be found in the practices that help people survive in the desert—economic sharing, radical hospitality, stewardship of the earth, and extravagant generosity.” – Rev. Dr. Ben Boswell
