		<description><![CDATA[Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” is for me a kind of touchstone. It is the play I know and probably love the best (although “King Lear” is a contender) and the one I have seen most often performed. I read it as an undergraduate and ended up writing my honors thesis on it as my first bona-fide [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: My book, Home Waters, after which the blog is named, treats the theme of environmental stewardship but not always directly. It also touches on themes of community, human suffering, the humanities (specifically poetry), and theology. While I have devoted most of this blog to themes related to environmental stewardship, I have occasionally touched on [...]]]></description>

You can see a video of the lecture here. 1. Advocacy Requires Knowledge and Humility Advocacy is precarious. You risk becoming what Mormon [...]]]></description>

I am not sure how different the trends are between the two parties, but there is certainly evidence this has happened on the right. Most recently, for example, we find evidence that a majority of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; LDS pioneers who arrived in the Great Basin in 1847 were, well, squatters. I don’t know what else to call them. The academic term for their development of the Great Basin is “extralegal,” that is, outside of the bounds of law. They were stepping into the ungoverned and soon-to-be contested territory of the Spanish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Please, let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God&#8217;s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment.&#8221; At first glance this is a counterintuitive statement. How might concern for the poor and for the environment be linked? Aren’t they often mutually exclusive? Aren’t humanitarians and tree-huggers loving different things? Can [...]]]></description>

I have spent a great deal of energy and writing on this particular question, so I make mention of some of these points at the risk of repeating myself.

		<description><![CDATA[I once read an excellent essay by David Kinsley entitled “Christianity as Ecologically Harmful” with a companion essay entited “Christianity as Ecologically Responsible.” These two essays explore two sides of the same coin. I think this was an excellent exercise in helping readers to understand that a religious tradition provides many principles and doctrines that [...]]]></description>
