It’s July in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and fresh peaches are sacred experiences that you can buy for a few coins on the side of the road. Today I bought peaches at a roadside stand and ate one as soon as I got in the car. I did not stop to consider any illness or contagious disease I might suffer from eating an unwashed peach.
In her book An Altar in the World, Barbara Brown Taylor wrote, “I don’t have to choose between the Sermon on the Mount and the magnolia tress.” Similarly, there is no reason to distinguish parish or peach as potential sites of worship. Amen.
