Thanks so much for publishing the Wendell Berry interview ("Heaven in Henry County," by Rose Berger, July 2004), and for including more of it on the Web site. Berry truly amazes in his ability to balance the global, the local, and the interpersonal aspects of faith and ethics. I only wish his

Ive been "checking in" with Sojourners off and on for a number of years. I appreciate and strongly support your commitment to Christian discipleship in every aspect of life.

What an incredible article ("No Place to Stand?"). It is nice to know that others out there find the debate of choice and life too narrow. Thank you for a great article!

Your article ("No Place to Stand?") was very helpful, particularly the focus on reducing the incidence of abortion, regardless of a pro-life or pro-choice stance. A few criticisms, however: I haven't read everything the pro-choice lobby has said, but I think it is a misrepresentation

"No Place to Stand?" was one of the best pieces I've read on the subject in a long, long time. I have always been adamantly pro-choice because of the dire results that come from the criminalization of abortion and the politicization of sexual health education. At the same time, abortion is hardly

I just read the article "No Place to Stand?" by Heidi Schlumpf (June 2004). As a new subscriber to Sojourners I am looking forward to more articles like this. I have struggled for a long time, being liberal in most areas but not in favor of abortion. Schlumpf's article has given me comfort and

I very much appreciated "To Serve and Preserve" (by Ched Myers, March 2004), though I somewhat vary in my belief regarding [humanity] having dominion over the Earth. I firmly believe God gave this gift to [humanity]; however, with the awesome gift comes solemn responsibility. [Humanity] is given

As I read about how the majority of Americans still hold that the United States made the right decision in deposing of Saddam Hussein, I feel as though some way should be found to inform the citizenry about the process that was taking place in the United Nations as Sojourners was getting various nations to agree to

Rose Marie Bergers article "Presidential Option for the Poor?" (May 2004) may be right to praise Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez for his commitment to improving the lives of poor people in that country. But she failed to mention his obstruction of a constitutional presidential recall process, his

Jim Rices article ("A Vote for the Earth," March 2004) made no mention of the recent report by a Pentagon research group that urgently affirms what the scientific community has been saying about global warming. In fact, according to a report I heard on the radio, they are predicting

Likening the possible split in the Presbyterian Church (USA) to a divorce, both Richard Mouw and Barbara Wheeler concluded that the institution should stay together and attempt to resolve its differences over GLBT people in the church ("Why the

I wanted to say a special thank you for the last issue, "Down-to-Earth Theology" (March 2004), and make particular mention of Brian McLarens article, "Consider the Turtles of the Field." Brilliant! Rarely read such compressed wisdom! It is clear and insightful and provides a superb flavor of the way in which theological

Elizabeth Palmbergs "Dont Trade Away the Farm" (January 2004) neatly sums up many of the problems with the World Trade Organization and future bilateral trade deals. While farmers from the developed North are paid just enough in subsidies to allow them to "hang on" and keep farming, they sell

As regards your interesting remarks on "conservatives" and "liberals", it might be a help to look at the policy and company of Jesus.

My concern with "Should the Church Split Over Gay and Lesbian Christians?" (February 2004 cover) is simple: For gay and lesbian Christians, the church has been split for a long, long time.
