There’s a curious phrase in the first chapter of Acts: “a sabbath day’s journey.” It refers to the short walk between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives — just under a mile. What I love about this detail is that it shows how Sabbath is not only about what we don’t do, but about how we move through the world with intention.

He’s experimenting with something he’s calling Sabbath gardening — still taking shape — as a way of responding to the church’s needs in an uncertain future. He loves singing, justice-y gatherings, and anticipating the arrival of his grandson-to-be this February.
