Dr. Mark Y.A. Davies\, leading\nOur experiences and underst andings of wilderness are quite varied. For some\, wilderness is a place o f life-threatening danger. For others\, it is a place of trial and temptat ion. Some look at wilderness as wasted land that needs to come under the control\, use\, and ownership of human beings. Some see wilderness as a p lace of great beauty and spiritual inspiration. And some see wilderness as having value for its own sake as a place of biodiversity and flourishing ecosystems. This discourse will explore both historical and contemporary v isions of wilderness with special attention given to the importance of pre serving wilderness for sake of all life on earth. Read Mark’s bio here . \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Fall Congregational Meeting is Next S unday.
