The promise of Earth's beauty

Transcript of July 21, 2006, Sentinel Radio Interview with Bill Moody

In this interview about the environment, Bill Moody, a teacher and practitioner of Christian Science shared with Sentinel radio host Russ Gerber how he would pray in the face of an environmental crisis. Bill has spent countless hours enjoying the wonders of nature and has a deep, spiritually based love for the environment.

This experience happened several years ago. It’s early one afternoon as my friend Al and I are slowly making our way to a destination some 40 miles back into the Canadian wilderness.

After a portage through a grove of cedar trees, we put our canoe in the water again and paddle around an island that appears not much more than a small black dot on our map. Yet, in its natural setting, this little island is a treasure, like an evergreen emerald, and what we found when we got there was this truly pristine beauty. That’s how I remember it. And I’ve often wished that people everywhere could celebrate that same beauty and peace right where they live, day to day, every day.
