FROM THE TABLEFrom Acadia to ZionMy Friends Bruce Barkhauer and Brad Lyons recently published the perfect book for connecting your faith with your summer vacation. In their “real lives,” Bruce directs our denominational Center for Faith and Giving, which helps educate our churches about stewardship and helps us as individual disciples think about the spiritual side of our finances. Brad Lyons is the publisher of Chalice Press, our denominational Publishing House.Together, they’ve written America’s Holy Ground: 61 Faithful Reflections on Our National Parks, which marries our call to be Disciples of Christ to the uniquely American gift of our National Parks. Full of breathtaking photos, many of which come from their own trips to the parks, America’s Holy Ground captures
the beauty of God’s creation in these parks, and gives readers a chance to consider what it means to love nature as an act of faith, steward creation as the work of discipleship, and consider what it means to be not only a citizen of the world, but a child of God.Whether you’re heading to a National Park, another
destination, or your own home for summer vacation, I invite you to bring their book along for the summer. I’ve enjoyed using it as a way to center my own faith. I look forward to hearing about it from you!Grateful to be in ministry with you, Rev. B
