Episcopal Church Foundation Vestry Papers - for leading congregations

In the second installment of his Fieldwork contribution, farmer Paul Clever reflects on The Good Earth Farm’s meager harvest: “It is easy gathering in abundant fields swollen with pride. Your hands fill bags upon bags, knowing that not only will you help feed many people, but you, good farmer, brought it to fruition. It is much harder mining through your failure, sifting through scattered golf ball sized potatoes. The rows keep getter longer while you think, “What is the use”. Even though there are still enough potatoes buried to feed dozens of families through the winter, I want to forget the fact that I failed.”
