Ministering with the Earth

By Mary Elizabeth Moore
Chalice. 1998. 226 pp. Pb. $19.99.
ISBN 0-8272-2323-4

 


Ministering with the Earth is a quiltwork, both the on-the-ground activity and Moore's book about so ministering. Moore, professor of theology and Christian education at Claremont School of Theology, is fond of the metaphor, suitably pastoral and feminist.
