The Land Stewardship Project

"The Land Stewardship Project (LSP) is a private, nonprofit organization founded in 1982 to foster an ethic of stewardship for farmland, to promote sustainable agriculture and to develop healthy communities. LSP is dedicated to creating transformational change in our food and farming system. LSP's work has a broad and deep impact, from new farmer training and local organizing, to federal policy and community based food systems development. At the core of all our work are the values of stewardship, justice and democracy."

one of the great thinkers

Meister Eckhart, a 13th-century German monk, is recognized by an increasing, but still too-small number of spiritual seekers in the modern world. Learn about his spectacular work and thought and action in a recent book: Meister Eckhardt - A Mystic-Warrior for Our Times, by Matthew Fox.

A quote from a brief review: "Though he lived in the thirteenth century, Meister Eckhart’s deeply ecumenical teachings were in many ways modern. He taught about what we call ecology, championed artistic creativity, and advocated for social, economic, and gender justice." (Amazon.com review )
