The weather is warm and it’s finally gardening season. Traveling through just about any community, you’ll see community gardens springing up everywhere, and churches are getting in on the act also! More than just a hobby, more and more congregations are seeing community gardens as a way of improving the lives of the poor. My guest this week is Nathan Hosler, director of the Washington Office of the Church of the Brethren. Nate will share with us what he has seen churches doing in the way of community gardening in spots across the globe. You’ll also hear about an unexpected encounter we had a short time ago in the strangest of places. Get your gardening gloves on and listen carefully.
Issues surrounding war and peace are as controversial today as they have been in the past. Among the member communions of the National Council of Churches, approaches to war and peace are as varied as are the communions themselves. In this episode we’ll talk with Nathan Hosler with the Church of the Brethren’s Office of Public Witness about his denomination, its understanding of Pacifism as a way of following Jesus, and how this is lived out among hundreds of thousands of Church of the Brethren members living in northern Nigeria, where the militant group Boko Haram has caused untold suffering.
