Instant CongressUpcoming eventsWords to live by"The divorce between church and state should be absolute. It ought to be so absolute that no Church property anywhere, in any state, or in the nation, should be exempt from equal taxation; for if you exempt the property of any church organization, to that extent you impose a tax upon the whole community."

Dominion
Mathew Scully, in his book with the same title as this post, cites a prayer by Saint Basil, ca. 375:
"Oh God, enlarge within us the sense of fellowship with all living things, our brothers the animals to whom thou gavest the earth in common with us. We remember with shame that in the past we have exercised the high dominion of man with ruthless cruelty so that the voice of the earth, which should have gone up to thee in song, has been a groan of travail"
If I ever had heard anything like this in the three decades I attended church, I'd be a monk today. Anyway, LB, thanks for your meditation on the natural world, and your exploration of these questions with THK.
