Part of the gift of living here in the land of the Suwaree is the opportunity to get to know people who are smarter, nicer, and better behaved than me. Mallory McDuff is one of those people. She is smart enough to have just written a book, Natural Saints: How People of Faith are Working to Save God’s Earth. She is nice enough to spend time talking with me about it, despite the fact that she has better things to do on a beautiful Friday afternoon at the start of Labor Day weekend. She is so well behaved that she did not even balk at my attempts to record our conversation.
And this attempt is better than some previous, although I am aware that an investment in actual recording technology may be in order at some point. The good news is that Mallory sounds good, and she is the one you want to listen to anyway. The good sounding music is called “Freight Train” and it is by the Maybe Sometimes. Check out the podcast and check out the book. If so inspired, try becoming a natural saint. We are in need.
