More on Wendell Berry.

RIP.

His writings touched on conservation, community and belonging, and he acquired legions of fans beyond environmental studies — including many scholars of religion.

This is new at Hewitson Library: Evangelical and Inclusive.

From the publisher:
"A growing network of evangelicals who work for the full inclusion of LGBT+ people and their relationships in the life of the church, Inclusive Evangelicals believe that the conflicted debates over human sexuality reveal a deeper need for a renewal of evangelical faith and identity. Reflecting on the work of the network, this book sets today's debates within the broader story of evangelical history and identity. It explores fresh approaches to the understanding and interpreting of the Scriptures, offers pastoral, doctrinal and theological reflections, and includes moving personal and community stories of faith journeying towards inclusion."
