When can compromise be life-giving?
Andrew Hudson
Andrew Hudson is a seminary graduate and former organic farmer who now promotes local food in the Sarasota, Florida area. 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.
Ascension Day, celebrated forty days after Easter, remembers Christ ascending into heaven before his disciples. It can seem abstract compared to the drama of Easter or Pentecost. Yet gardening has made me wonder whether that hiddenness is part of its wisdom.
